try eating raw garlic (real garlic). Chances are the mosquito's won't be able to stand it, nor your friends.

I'm one of those unfortunates that gets bitten all the time and the bites turn nasty. Last year Avon's Skin So Soft Dry Oil Body Spray (not an insect repellant) was recommended to me by three different people and it worked. The only night I didn't have it on was the night I was bitten. No, I'm not an Avon Rep usually a Body Shop buyer but swallowed my principles for an easy life. This year I bought 2 bottles for £5 but due to sickness in the family haven't managed to get to Croatia.

well said Polly this stuff is definately the business when it comes to being bitten. we forgot it this year and got eaten alive! Apparently the army or marines use it when they go on exercises in Scotland and we all know about the midges there!
It also makes them smell nice too. LOL

The best thing for mossy bites is TIGER BALM
it takes 5 mins to work and then no itches, no scratching.
It dosent deter them , just stops them itching.
Best to buy it in bulk when you sometimes see it in the pound shops, otherwise its about a fiver a small jar.

Pain relievers are ok, but I prefer anti histamines because they remove the cause of the pain.

A lot of garlic and vitamin B will eventually help you get rid of the mosquitos. When I first arrived in the Caribbean each mosquito bite would result in large red spots. After a few years of living on the island a Mosquito bite would not do anything anymore. A bit red, no itch and after a few hours it would be gone.
Some tips.
Don't wear dark clothing, mosquitos are attracted to dark colours, so wear something light.
Mosquitos like the scent of sweat, so take regular showers and keep yourself fresh.
Keep the temperature in your bed room low, it will slow mosquitos down and makes it easy to kill them.
Don't use body lotions or other sweet oils/creams..............it will attract mosquitos like mice to the cheese.
