tunisia mozzies

[cooperman244]

is there a problem with mosquitoes in tunisia?

[cc1]

We were there in September last year and had no problems, though most of our time was spent on tour inland, rather than in the coastal resorts.

I would buy a local citrus repellant rather than use UK bought ones as the local ones are more effective.

Marmite or yeast extract, or Vitamin B complex taken in the 2 weeks prior to travel can help repel them too.

Eating the local yoghurt and honey will give added protection against tummy bugs and pollen allergies.

Have a good trip. :-)

Take a few bottles of this to deter the mossies:-

It does work, I've used it for years when abroad.

agree with fadeout, it's brilliant stuff. Do check with your GP practice nurse though - we've just come back from Morocco and as long as you stay in certain areas the risk is low, but inland and in the desert areas it can be a problem. Take the Avon stuff, take some antihistamine tabs just in case, and buy a stick of After Bite - that's what I do, if there is a mozzie about it will find me!
