The little guy off to camp with his Mosquito Patch… This week, we slapped the patches on and headed to camp to see what would happen. Amazon reviews of the Mosquito Patch are mixed – there are many positive reviews and a smattering of reviewers stating that the patches did not work for them. I bought the 20-pack of patches for $22.49. Still, the thought of keeping the kids and myself bite-free for our days in the woods seemed worth taking a chance on. I’ve heard of campers and outdoorsmen trying to achieve the same effect by taking lots of vitamin B1 prior to spending time in mosquito country, but I hadn’t heard of a vitamin-based mosquito patch prior to the radio segment. The patches work by saturating your skin with vitamin B1, which makes your body’s scent unattractive to mosquitoes. Each patch is also supposed to last 36 hours. Depending on the size of the package that you buy, each patch is a little over a dollar.

I ordered the mosquito patches from Amazon, and they’re not exactly cheap.

(Isn’t this exactly the kind of place you’d want effective protection from mosquito bites?)
