Mosquitoes LOVE When You Wear These Colors In Minnesota

I don't know about you, but I’m already dreaming of those perfect Minnesota nights - barefoot on the patio, drink in hand, soaking up every ounce of warmth we waited all winter for.

It's all pure bliss, that is, until the mosquitoes show up uninvited, ready to turn your legs into an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, BUT in case you missed it, Minnesota’s unofficial state bird is making a major comeback in 2025. So bad, in fact, experts say this could be the itchiest, most relentless mosquito season we’ve had in five years.
