Any tips at avoiding mossy bites? I dont have a problem with them (now isnt that tempting fate) but got some friends going this year with me and there mossy food so just trying to make there holiday bareable so any tips would be appreciated, I know some of the local things but any help would be appreciated

A product called Mossie Milk (OK for children to use as well) around ankles and on arms - this seems to deal with it. It can be bought on the internet.

My other half now takes antihistamine tablets for a week before and during our trips to Corfu - has certainly cut down on number and severity of the mozzie bites.  Also dont be tempted to wear any perfumes or after shaves in the evenings ... they love all that

Avon is available on line if thats any help ?

I usually buy my Avon skin so soft from ebay.. find it cheaper than the Avon brochure!

I think the most important thing is that what ever product you use make sure you spray or pour it into your hand first and really rub it into your skin. If you think of it as suncream it is the same principal i.e if you just dab it on a few spots or spray without rubing in you are very likely to get burnt. Seems to work for us!

Take Vitamin B1 every day whilst you are there & for two weeks prior to going. We also use Original Source Lemon & Tea Tree shower gel, plus take Jungle Formula Tropical Stregnth. Both me & my daughter have never been bit, but the missus had a bad bite a few years ago that needed treatment (we think this happened whilst walking across the beach at night)....Make sure you have plug ins for your room also.

Hahaha good one 

Belts and braces me, I use everything!!

Machines in the room, insect repellant with Deet, aftersun with repellant, eat Marmite every day, take antihistamines, have a personal buzzy machine clipped to my handbag - and I still manage to get one or two bites. Altough I have to admit they are not as bad if I take these precautions, the mossie obviously take their first taste and decide it is not to their liking. I wear long sleeves and trousers or skirt at night  and no perfume

When I do get bitten I am armed with a clicky machine, antihistamine creme, anti itching cream etc etc and I carry a good supply of strong anti histamine  tablets

Nothing ever works for me 100% but unless I minimise things I know my bites will get infected

One thing to remember is that mossies are around in the day in damp places, near fresh and stagnant  water in woods, humid  towns  etc etc  Use a sun lotion with a combined insect repellant, Jungle formula do a good one.

Word of warning, do not use anything containing hydrocortisone  if  the skin on the top of the bite is broken. Read the packaging carefully
