I recall my mother and my brother constantly complaining about flea
bites. I remember them showing me their ankles with red spots all
over. In the meantime, my father and I never had a single flea bite.


I'm the same way. Mosquitos, fleas, spiders either don't bite me or I don't
react to their bites. I actually grabbed a flea from my cat once, put it on my
arm and within a second it jumped off. They love my sister, mother and husband.
I think part of it is genetic. My sister, mother, husband are super white with
dry pink skin. I'm regular white with thicker, oiler skin. I've been like this
all my life even though my diet, activities, body lotion...have changed. I've
heard that taking certain vitamins like B, using certain body lotions and oils
and eating certain herbs like garlic can keep fleas away. I don't do any of
this. We're all different.
