on a tv they told people to take vit b1 three times a day to stop mozzies
There were lots of mozzies around while we were there a couple of weeks back and also lots of people with really nasty looking bites on there arms and legs. I only got bitten twice in two weeks which was pretty good, 1 on the leg above where i'd sprayed and one on my forehead on the last night waiting for the coach.We thought we would walk down to the beach for one last sunset (Hadn't sprayed).It wasn't the best idea i've ever had as it looked like i'd been hit with a golf ball!!.Luckily it went down before we got to the airport.
We always use CK One (The his & hers perfumey/cologney thing). We found out years ago that the mozzies seem to hate it. It also saves taking perfume/aftershave/mozzie spray seperates and smells good as well. O.K so people can smell me from the other end of the street when it first gets sprayed on but I like to think i'm sending a message out to the little buzzers
.
The only rubbishy bit is it's a bit pricey and the immotation stuff you can get cheap abroad doesn't work.The mozzies seem to be able to tell the difference.
