mosquitoes vs the vitamin

I have been searching for a natural repellent for mosquitoes. Partly because the CDC links the spread of the West Nile virus and other unflattering diseases to mosquito bites. Mainly because I am too lazy to remember to put on bug spray every time I step outdoors.

I heard from a few sources that vitamin B1 may help my cause. After a bit of research on vitamin B1, I was unable to find any proven data to support this claim. Being my own scientist and lab rat, I decided to see for myself what would happen if I took a vitamin. After all, a little trial and error with vitamins couldn't hurt, right?
