People can reduce the number of mosquito bites they receive (to a greater or lesser degree) by:
* Using a mosquito net
* Wearing long clothing that covers the skin and is tucked in to seal up holes
* Avoiding the outdoors during dawn and dusk, when mosquitos are most active
* Keeping air moving to prevent mosquitos from landing, such as by using a fan
* Wearing light-colored clothing (light objects are harder for mosquitos to detect)
* Reducing exercise, which reduces output of carbon dioxide used by mosquitos for detection
