Exercise making me a mosquito magnet!?

Lately I look like I am suffering from some creepy hive-like affliction. It's mosquito bites. I have over 20 right now, mostly around my feet, ankles and legs. I cannot go into the yard these days without coming back inside with red, raised welts. And my feet itch like hell. HELL!

Last night I read an article that debated why mosquitoes are more attracted to some people than others. It said that mosquitoes are attracted to certain chemicals in the body, and one was lactic acid, which comes from exercising. Voila! The gym is making the nasty blood-suckers stalk me!

I think I have a liability case here, don't you?
