Mosquitoes — these tiny blood suckers can be annoying and drive you away from enjoying the outdoors. But they can also be dangerous. More than 900 cases of tick- and mosquito-borne illnesses were reported statewide last year, including West Nile Virus. As we head into the peak of mosquito season here, we look at how to protect yourself and what may happen as the climate continues to warm.

Story at-a-glance Mosquitoes are drawn to your body's natural scent, heat, breath, and even clothing color, making some people far more attractive to them than others Genetic factors account for about 62% of how attractive you are to mosquitoes, with identical twins showing nearly identical mosquito appeal in lab tests People with type O blood are bitten significantly more often than those with types A, B, or AB, though this doesn't impact how many eggs mosquitoes lay afterward Everyday choices like using scented lotion, wearing red or black clothing, drinking alcohol, or being overheated all raise your mosquito bite risk Plant-based oils like Russian sage and wild mint repel mosquitoes as effectively as DEET in lab studies, offering a safer way to protect yourself without toxic chemicals

Story at-a-glance Despite limited scientific evidence supporting vitamin B1 as a mosquito repellent, many people report fewer bites when taking it. As a water-soluble vitamin with minimal risk, there's no harm in trying it Essential oils from Russian sage, tangerine peel and wild mint have demonstrated strong mosquito-repelling capabilities in studies, with Russian sage matching DEET's effectiveness for up to 135 minutes Traditional remedies like oils from Hatkora fruit and Anchiri root provide impressive protection lasting over six hours; this makes them viable natural alternatives to chemical repellents Eliminating standing water around your home is key for mosquito control, as these insects need water to breed and typically don't travel far from their hatching sites Natural mosquito control strategies include wearing light-colored clothing, installing bat houses and planting repellent herbs like citronella, lavender and marigold near entryways
