mosquito bites

[ethanryan]

hi all, my partner suffers really bad from bites,no matter where we are in the house or outside he always gets big bites all over him.
last night after sitting in the garden for 2 hours he had 12 bites.
we have tried all the sprays in the shops but nothing seems to work.
has anyone got any ideas to stop getting bitten so much as they can be quite painful
many thanks

Be a vegetarian and Buy "Mosquito Milk" roll on" Google for online purchase from company in sussex. Does help prevent and smells ok.

i am like your partner - get bitten everywhere - bought mosquito repellant in superdrug and sprayed myself everyday whilst in spain - not a bite - last day of holiday did not spray but got bitten about 40 times at open airport. that stuff was very good - superdrug's own make. good luck

Try spraying Avon's skin so soft on your body, apparently the SAS use it. I use it when I go away it works for me. BUT it dries your skin out when used a lot.

Keep his skin covered and what can't be covered needs insect repellant.

Try getting him to take vitamin B1. Apparently within 2 weeks of taking one every day you shouldn't be bothered with mosquitos any more.

It makes the blood smell unattractive to mossies (although is totally undetectable to us) and they won't want to try it!

My dad used to get bitten like mad on holidays until he started taking this for 2 weeks before leaving and for the duration of the holiday
