I have the same issue! I could spray "off" and wear those bands and still get bitten everywhere!
Someone told me to take B vitamins, haven't tried that yet, but can commiserate..

Deet free bands? They're the only ones that work for us.

Thanks for the commiseration. I am miserable.

I have heard that magnesium deficiency makes “sweeter” blood. Maybe use a magnesium spray on your skin?

Was wondering if certain blood types attract mosquitos more. My dc and I get all bitten while my other family members don’t.

A myth as far as I can tell.

don‘t use scented deo, try to use something without smell (like crystal mineral deodorant stick)

Do they really really work? I've tried some other stuff out there and none worked for me.

Garlic pills worked great for keeping fleas off of a cat I used to have. She couldn't tolerate the toxins in commercial flea drops from the vet.
Normally, friends would love to take me camping, because all the bugs would flock to me, and leave everyone else alone.
I started taking extra magnesium supplements, and the mosquitoes are pretty much leaving me alone so far. I've seen several in the house, since I don't have screens on any of my windows. Throught the entire Spring and Summer, I've only had two tiny bites.
