The MySQL dissector will normally be called for every packet that is sent to or from tcp port 3306.
Port 3306 is the IANA registered port for MySQL 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
but that port number can of course be used for other protcols also.

Disable the MySQL protocol dissection from Edit/Protocols.../
Click on the MySQL entry in the list of protcols so that it is shown as Disabled and then press Apply and OK.
