Re: --mosquitos--"WHY" they bite us--

I was just thinking this morning about this topic. When discussing a plants natural ability to repel harmful pests and attract helpful ones when healthy, it started to make sense to me that if people were healthy, the same would apply. Am I off base with that thought?

I do not think so. I have stated on many more than one occasion that I believe we are meant to live WITH all the bacteria and viri in the world without fear of it. If we are healthy, as healthy as we can be, we will most likely not get sick; baring any manmade unpredictable pathogen.

My interesting observations over last summer and this spring/summer so far...

I used to get bit by mosquitoes’ so badly… it put me in the ER once where the ER docs struggled to keep my heart rate up high enough to keep me alive.

Needless to say, after that episode, I used to cover myself in clothing and repellent when I was going into mosquito territory…

I do not need to do that any more…

Last year on one particular outing I received a few bites total around my ankles and a wrist; I used no bug repellant at all… every one else was covered head to toe in bug repellant and still had many more bites than I.

This year I noticed the following…

I use Dr. Bronner's soap only and then only on my feet, hands, underarms, butt and genitals.

These are the ONLY places I have ever had a mosquito bite or fly land on me when in shorts and sandals, or when sunning buff.

If I sun after an alkalizing bath and do not rinse off and then go lay in the sun... absolutely no bug problems, until the sweat starts dripping off of me and then again it is primarily the same areas, which are also big lymph drainage sites. This indicates to me that my lymph system still needs some alkalizing work... Tweet
