Chemo as insect repellent?

That's right, it seems chemotherapy is working as an insect repellent for me. Normally, I am considered quite the delicacy among the female mosquitoes. They will travel far to feast on me and ignore any other tasty morsels nearby, as none are as good as I. Going outside in the evening in the middle of summer guarantees that I will become a lumpy, swollen, itchy mess.

Well, no more! Now when a mosquito bites me, it bites once and leaves! My toxic blood is not so appealing to them it seems. I'd love to catch one in the act and see it gag after sipping a bit. =P
