But also there are lot of people that look at them as a huge problem. The products being sold in the markets have more chemicals and they can also harm us instead of providing us the main use of the product.
Vitamin B1 and also called thiamine, is an important mineral for the body. It plays an important role in boosting immunity and fighting stress. It is usually found in foods like brown rice, eggs, oatmeal, liver, yeast, asparagus, and kale.
You do not have to worry if you take too much of it, because any excess gets eliminated through urination, just like with any other water-soluble vitamin.
When speaking about the relation between mosquitoes and Vitamin B1, it is important to mention that it changes your smell and makes it unappealing for the mosquitoes. This Vitamin does not change the way you smell to other people.
Additionally, people who are experiencing gastric bypass, chronic alcoholism, anorexia, and Crohn`s disease, should take B1 supplements, because these conditions lower its levels in the body.
In order to keep mosquitoes at bay, you can either take B1 supplements or make your own mosquito repellent. If you go for the first option, take 100 mg of thiamine on a daily basis. In case you choose the second, here is the recipe:
All natural mosquito repellent

- 15 drops of lavender oil
Instructions:
Take an 8oz spray bottle and fill it halfway with the cool boiled water. Add the witch hazel, tea tree oil, and lavender oil. You can use the repellent when you need it.
