I dont know, but the improvement could be that you will be bitten less.
If it means your facial features, arent mosquito's repelled by really
ugly people? If so, you cant be that bad!!!

You'd end up a pothead though. Not a good look!

The problem with carnivorous plants is they dont chase the

Discovered the mistake too late!! But I take Vitamin B 'every'
day now, and will until the day I die!! LOL




It probably repels dropbears too.

There is some kind of tea-tree (Leptospermum) being sold as a
mozzie repellent, IIRC. And we've all forgotten about
carnivorous plants!

The biggest problem is that the biting mozzies are not attracted
to plant nectar. They want animal blood!
