Which is it: b1 or b6 to stop mosquito bites?

Deet: Some think that b-6 might be a little helpful but studies have no borne this out. Deet is by far the best agent and is readily available. Its only downside is that it can dissolve some plastics such as the grip on a fishing rod.

Mosquito bites: B 1 has been demonstrated to retard mosquito bites in a dose of 100 mg daily. This may or may not be effective but anecdotal reports speak of its effectivenes.
