Another Keto Side Effect?


(Sophie) #1

I’ve noticed that the mosquitoes don’t Touch me anymore!!! When I was a sugar burner, I couldn’t walk out the door before I was bitten 5-6 times and now I can spend more than an hour outside without even a single bite. Today I was out for 2hrs watering the garden, no bites. If this is a side effect, I’ll Take IT!

Anyone else noticed this?


Mosquito bites

My bites are way down - maybe a tenth what I usually get by this time. And I haven’t had to put on any bug sprays. I spend a couple hours outside every day so they have ample opportunity to feed if they wanted.

I think they are attracted to sugar burners…

I was in New Berlin Wisconsin this weekend for a few days, I don’t think i got a single bite… the Wisconsin state bird is the mosquito…

I don’t have any science to back this up, but mosquitoes are drawn to us by the carbon dioxide in our breath. It may be the acetone that is putting them off.
