How can I avoid mosquito bites?

Wear Socks: 80% of all bites are on the ankle
Wear closed toed shoes for the same reason
Avoid Bannanas during the mosquito season: Bannanas produce a phermone that mosquitoes go ape over
Avoid sugary drinks because they also attract mosquitoes
Eat citrus. Despite being sweet, citrus does not attract mosquitoes and in fact repels them
Shower with unscented shampoos and laundry detergent. Strong scents attract mosquitoes.
Try to avoid high potassium foods for a couple of days before spending extended time outdoors. Biting insects are attracted to the "scent" of potassium on/in a body.
