What it won't help with is mosquitos. They LOVE banana-flavored people.

Learned it from first hand experience.

I believe this too! My brother is not a fan bananas and barely registers mosquito bites. Me on the other hand am pursued mercilessly. Could also be we have different blood types but the immediate evidence we've seen is bananas :)

The trick is to offer bananas to everyone and refrain from eating. Then the mosquitos will prefer the other people and leave you for later.
