Default Prevention of West Nile?

Anyone out there have any suggestions on what to do to ward off mosquitoes while hunting, without affecting deer movement?

Just thinking of reducing chance of West Nile and others...

I heard that taking Vitamin B1 would reduce your " attractivness" to the little buggers....

Jim.

A bug suit and a thermocell should greatly reduce the number of mosquito bites you recieve
