This made the news here in the UK a couple of years ago. Some boffin published the results of tests he had conducted which backed up the premise of the original post in this thread. Presumably he had a lab somewhere in which he force fed marmite to students, vagrants or other undesirables and then locked them in glass boxes with thousands of mosquitos.

And if you're not hungry; why not use some insect repellent?

Dr Dave - great post (pg 1), thanks for the pic.
Red Dwarf - Disagree with you, Vegemite is WAY better than Marmite.
Mozzies - Loath you !!! Why do you exist in the circle of life ? Does anyone know what purpose they serve ?

On the mozzie front, has anyone heard that eating sweet food attracts the little blighters? Seemingly, they're attracted to the sugar on your breath. Maybe marmite on your breath has the opposite effect??
