Mosquito bites - How to avoid them!?!?!?

Growing up my dad always said I had "sugar blood". My entire life I always got bit the worst by mosquitos. Even if I dont wear any perfume or lotion - and cover myself in bug spray I still get eaten alive. Once counting over 100 bits on me.

My boyfriend and I are going to the islands for a week. I really really dont want to have to deal with horrible bug bites. What can I do to prevent it from ruining my romantic vacation??

Mosquito net (injected with Permethrin) for bedtime, extra strength repellent (something that contains DEET), citrus candles to burn and plug-ins might be useful, think you can also get an anti-mosquito mat for use during the night (maybe google that, see what they do/are like?), apparently lighter colours are less likely to attract so wear light clothing.


Ooh just found this site, has a list of preventions and cures, might be useful to look at!

horse flies really bother my horses each summer and I bought a veterinary horse fly repellent . Having no bug reppellent one damp and hot night I used my horse stuff!! I have never been bothered since by any bugs and its cheaper than human stuff. God knows whats in it though.

justs some lemon (natural) juice will help.

Rub Skin-So-Soft oil (from Avon) on your skin.


seashell
Have you tried skin-so-soft by Avon. The little biters like me too but when I wear my skin-so-soft they stay away. Have fun on your trip
Hmm.....2 thumbs down. Don't get it.

Stop eating bananas...mosquitos like the patasium in them.


Uh Huh
Cover up... light linen long pants long sleeves. Look at the locals... most all of them are covered up. Ever wonder why?

Bugs!
