    Vitamin B-12 will work. My parents used to shove B-12 tablets down our throats every spring/summer. We lived in the Midwest and were the only kids that never got bitten by ticks, chiggers, fleas, or mosquitos. Once you have built up enough in your system, you sweat it out and that masks the smell of your blood.
