Little Stalky and Vitamin B and the Mozzies

For the past six months or so I've been taking supplements.  Cod liver oil tablets to try and tackle the random creaking in my hips (I'm only 26!!!) and Vitamin B tablets as they're meant to relieve stress, give you more energy and give you healthier hair and nails.  I'm actually quite impressed that I've managed to stick to this regime and remember to take them on a daily basis.  This is normally something I'm not very good at.  But they sit on the breakfast counter and so when I make my cup of tea I'm reminded to take my daily dose.  Two massive cod liver oil tablets and one massive Vitamin B tablet.  Why they're so massive I don't know.  I guess it's a little hard to tell if they've been having a positive effect but I'm pretty sure I'm creaking less than normal.  Mystical Roo concurs.  We'll have to see how I go through the winter months.  My hips and knees don't like the cold.  Again, I'm only 26.  The main thing I noticed about the Vitamin B tablets was they turned my pee a fluorescent yellow.  I had been warned about this but was nevertheless a little surprised.  At least it's a way to remember whether or not you've taken them.  Is my pee a little bright today?  Ah yes, I've taken my Vitamin B.  I can't say if I feel more energised and less stressed, maybe, but I have noticed a difference in my hair and nails.  Particularly my nails.  They seem stronger and less prone to breaking.  I can tap them on the counter in a sinister way and have no fear of cracks.  Excellent.  What I hadn't realised about Vitamin B is that it's apparently a good way to keep the mozzies away.  Now I don't know if this is true; I base this information purely on what I get told in the office.  And although the office is a hub of information, not all of it can be claimed to be factual.  But last night the girls were saying that people with more Vitamin B don't get munched on as much by the mozzies.  I thought about this statement, piecing things together in my mind and realised several things.  I have always been eaten alive by mozzies.  They like the Little Stalky flavour.  We've just been through a summer of mozzies.  I haven't suffered as badly as previous years.  I've been taking Vitamin B.  Could it be (tee hee) that the B has been protecting me from those bitey beasties?  It would certainly seem so.  This is something I'm very excited by.  If I can do anything to keep those mozzies away from me than I will.  So it would seem that Vitamin B is pretty good stuff.  More energy, less stress, hardcore fingernails, mozzie repelling powers and fluorescent pee.  My God, the Vitamin B has given me super powers.

  1. Eating Marmite is supposed to have the same anti-mozzie effect, which is also rich in vitamin B. The other thing is to chew raw garlic; that keeps everything away!
