Trying to avoid mosquitoes by steering clear of bushes, fields, woods, when they are active is impossible for most of us. Especially if you love to garden like me. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark color clothing and foliage.You can distract them by burning a candle or incense. Outside you may want to build a fire. Smoke from these will deter our scent. They seek us out by following the trail of carbon dioxide we leave. Lactic acid is released from our bodies when we eat certain foods such as salty or foods that are high in potassium. Exercise also increases the chance of being bit. You should try to avoid this activity as best as you can before going outside.
I am not a big fan of DEET. Although it works well, it is very poisonous to all living things. Preferring to use essential oils, I have just finished posting herbal remedies to help avoid them.
Herbal repellents have to be applied every now and then to stay effective. I would say every hour or so.

Rose Hip Tea
To ward off colds in the winter they add a little extra dose of vitamin C. Rose hips make a nice, comforting herbal tea and the health benefits you gain by having a cup are great. Rose hip tea has a tangy flavor, not at all like the flowery scent of the rose blossom, as I had expected. Drinking this tea helps with the anti-aging from the inside.
A Benefit Of Olive Oil
Another answer revelant of the calcium puzzle is olive oil. By helping our bodies with the absorption of calcium. Unfortunately calcium is one of the hardest minerals for our bodies to absorb. Cooking with olive oil and using it as a face and body oil helps to strengthen our immune systems.
Legend has it....
That aromatherapy was born when a Persian princess was engaged to be married. Her father, the King, put rose petals into the canals, and as her lover rowed she touched the water only to find tiny droplets of rose oil on her hands.
