We used a jungle formula plug which seemed to be good (only got bit the first night and we hadn%26#39;t plugged it in yet!).

Avon skin so soft oil spray. Must be the green bottle.

Im just back from sunny beach %26amp; my legs got covered in bites! :(

I got a cream with cortizone in it which was good for reducing the swelling %26amp; relieving the itch too.

As for prevention, iv heard taking garlic tablets a week or so before you go %26amp; while your out there helps because the mossys %26amp; insects can appearantly get the scent from your skin and stay away.(Pity i didnt know this before I went!) :-)

enjoy your hols!

Hi there. I am unfortunately a mosquito magnet. They love me! I have started taking B1 tablets [which you can get from any health shop or probably supermarket]. Take them around 3 weeks to a month before you go. Some people swear by them. Also Skin so Soft from Avon - the dry oil is also supposed to be really good. [green/blue coloured bottle]. Plug ins are a must, as are the citronella candles. [which can be put out on the balcony]. When going to bed try and sleep with all lights off and your window open. That way if any of the blighters are in the room - then they can escape. Plug ins repel mozzies you see, but don%26#39;t kill them. Autan is another good one - although the smell isn%26#39;t the best. Even a mozzie repelling wrist band is worth a thought. Mozzies are more active at dawn and dusk. So these are the prime times to watch out for. Although, they can be out at any time of the day. I sympathise totally with your wife. Bites are not pleasant. Hope all or any of the above help.

We have only been bitten once in past two weeks - we took B complex for two weeks before going and brought a couple of citronella candles to light on hotel balcony at night.

Best tip - add a couple drops of tea trea oil to your aftersun - they absolutely hate it. I%26#39;ve been doing this for years. Saw some people with many many bites but we have been very lucky - hope it helps

i add lemon grass to my suntan lotion and aftersun and the mossies hate it

we used a boots plug in and kept in on all the time, the type with liquid in and also ciprenella oil you can get it from super drug ( its costs about £4) just put a couple of dabs on yr wrists and back of yr knees, we had no problems at all, hop this helps
