mozzies v marmite

[kingrat]

going to kenya for a holiday in april, got the usual junglejuice for the mozzy bites, but someone mentioned to me about eating marmite everyday whist there helps, being a bit partial to marmite is it worth taking or is this an old wives tale

[mccfluff]

i eat loads of marmite and the mozzies love love love me

[Zeuhl]

To be really effective you need to smear the Marmite all over your body.

[mccfluff]

nah that doesn;t work either Zeuhl

[Zeuhl]

Sorry - meant to say.

I think Kenya is wonderful - the countryside and climate are marvellous.

LOL fluff

you've tried it then?

did it attract the wildlife? :-)

[mccfluff]

well it attracted some wildlife and that's all i'm prepared to say on the matter

however i do agree kenya is fantastic and i hope you have a great time, one tip long sleeve tops/shirts and use a mozzy net at night

[kingrat]

thanks great answers. i get bitten to buggery abroad and my wife not so much as a nibble, was kinda hoping the marmite thing might be secret weapon against them.mind you most of them that bite me probably die from alcohol poisoning.

Avon's Skin So Soft works for me and I've been bitten numerous times.

Avon Skin So Soft dry body oil. It works a treat. I used to get bitten so much, I think the final straw was when I stopped counting at 30 bites one day. I then started using the Avon skin so soft and since then I only get one or two bites a year. Fantastic.
