Not mentioned in the article was smoking.

I was totally immune to mosquitos when I was a smoker.
I quit 7 years ago cold turkey(and +40lbs) and now the little buggers love me.

One of the few disadvantages of quitting I have found since I had my last smoke. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
