Eating bananas helps keep pesky mosquitoes & no-see-ums at bay. They make your skin stink to them.
Actually this might be the reverse - my husband eats a bannana every morning - I don't think they are helping - he is great at ATTRACTING mosquitos - I usually don't have to bother with a repellant at all!
I think it might be vitamin B--not sure which one, maybe all--that helps repel insects and also has some antihistamine benefits. Don't bananas have a lot of (natural) sugar but good source of potassium? I'm sure someone on this forum knows.
