Have you read the CR4 advice on posting questions? I'm guessing not, since both of your threads, on different subjects, are entitled "MR", which means nothing at all.

If you want serious help from CR4 Members, I respectifully suggest that you read the posting advice and follow it.

Hydrogen monoxide

Or if you can't find that, try Oxydihydride.

In both cases, leave standing outside in a largish container.

i've noticed that some people are more prone to moquito bites than others. perfume seems to the common factor. flowery fragrancies seems a huge attractant..
