      Help! I am been bitten alive

      I am so sick of mossies biting me and big red lumps coming out on my skin.

      Have been using aeroguard but is there anything else I can get - maybe plugs with those tablets?

      Any advice out there please?

      Our son was supper for a few mozzies at night when we first arrived but lemongrass incense works well. Now we have some colour they just don't seem to bother any of us anymore

      Avon Skin So Soft bath and body oil works really well. I have used it for years and travelled all over the world with no mossie bites

      I prefer aerogaurd but only because it is not as strong as bushman. Bushman will def keep them away though. Try sandalwood and citronella prducts from bunnings like candals and coils if you are going to be sitting outside. you also get the mortien lanterns with the poison in them that are also really good.

      Hi We have been out to our daughters 4 years on the trot, she lives in Port Kennedy, we were told by some Aussy friends to take vegymite on toast for breakfast, this puts vitim B into your blood, well it works for us. back here in the UK my hobby is photography I do wildlife photos and I am often near rivers, ponds and the like and it works over here as well.

      My OH gets really bad reactions from mozzies. A combination of areoguard, to prevent getting bitten, anti-histamines to reduce the reaction and citronella seems to work.
      A point of interest, if you are located in the one place a yellow light bulb seems to stop all insects from coming into the area.
