Do some more internet searching. This is a VERY bad idea. In addition to sulfur, match heads also contain antimony trisulphide and potassium chlorate.
"The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.(NIOSH) recently nominated antimony trisulfide for listing in the Report on Carcinogens as a substance reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen."

"The Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS, for potassium chlorate states that it is "toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, liver and mucous membranes." Repeated or prolonged exposure can cause serious damage to the affected areas."

There are plenty of effective ways to repel mosquitoes without poisoning your internal organs and causing cancer.
