No, vitamin B12 does not prevent mosquito bites.
Mosquitoes are attracted to various factors, including body odor, carbon dioxide, and body heat. Vitamin B12 does not influence these factors, and therefore, it does not deter mosquitoes.
While some anecdotal evidence suggests that taking vitamin B12 supplements can reduce mosquito bites, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
There are other proven methods to prevent mosquito bites, such as:
- Using insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin.
- Wearing long clothing to cover exposed skin.
- Avoiding areas where mosquitoes are prevalent.
- Using mosquito nets.
Focus on these effective strategies to minimize your chances of being bitten by mosquitoes.
