mozzie bites!!!

[devil99]

we are going to corfu in august, is there anything i can take before hand to try to prevent the mozzies biting us??

this works with the midges up in scotland so hopefully it will work with mozzies, Avon skin so soft replenishing dry oil spray, the pink one which is soft and sensual i think is the best smell and as a bonus you end up with lovely soft skin with NO BITES,

Jungle formular works well for me and also get some plug in repelants for the room. Also eat lots of garlic while over there as they dont like it.

When in Croatia we purchased a pot of marmite which we took down every day to breakfast. This comes out of your skin, like cigarette smoke, but humans do not notice it. The mozzies do and keep well away. It works, believe me.

I would second that. Avon skin so soft, but I used the green one, shower gel, spray etc etc. Also, in Lakeland they sell a little battery-operated buzzer to put on your belt, which emits a sound that mozzies are supposed to hate. I used Avon and the buzzer last year and didn't get bitten and usually I am used as a mosquito buffet!

taking vitamin B complex or garlic capsules is soposed to help but youre soposed to start taking them two weeks b4 travel.

If you do use Avon skin so soft, put it all over your body as mosquitos can bite through thin clothing. A good tropical mosquito repellent though expensive does the trick on exposed skin only.
