There is a common myth that by consuming enough bananas, you will be able to repel mosquitoes, but it just isn’t true.

In fact there have been numerous studies done to determine whether or not there is any validity as to the assertion that consuming this fruit can detract mosquitoes. The way the body processes the oils in bananas tends to attract the female mosquito and therefore makes targets of those who eat a lot of them.

Overall it has been determined when mosquitoes tend to be attracted to those who eat bananas over those who do not for one reason or another.
