Mosquito bites - Florida
Mosquitos love me. I've never travelled outside of Europe so I'm wondering whether I'm going to get savaged in USA too. A quick google tells me that I will. I'm wondering whether you have any hints or tips to help me be itch-free for my holiday.
Thanks! |

They don’t like shield soap and there is also a perfume by clarins that they hate too, it’s the one with the red top

Mossies love me as well. I have scars on my arms where they did their worst, but the only place at WDW I have ever been bitten was waiting for the boat at Davy Crockett's ranch one evening after hoop dee doo review. I do still take on some antihistamines just in case

Only place I have ever been bitten on several occasions (when I was around water) Anna Maria and Celebration - I’ve got some spray and some Avon so soft as recommended by Dibbers for this holiday👍

We use Avon skin so soft all over every morning after our shower, followed by deet if going places like gardens or rivers. Having said that, we sometimes get bitten, but the bites are not too itchy and don't weal up - they just heal. Now in Europe... my goodness, we have the same regime but if we get bitten we get huge itchy weals that last for days. We reckon that the US and Caribbean mossies are pussy cats compared to France!

None of my family have been bitten while we’ve been out there (that I’ve noticed).

Hi Sara - we discovered, quite by accident as it was all I had on me and thought, why not, after hubs stood on a nest of fire ants, that antibacterial gel helps with the sting of those acid spitters and mossies - immediately you notice any bites apply a bit and rub in.

DW is a magnet for the mozzies but uses a Don't Bite Me patch which seems to deter them. Also takes B100 tablets from Holland and Barrett.

They love me too, my ankles especially, I had brown patches on my legs last summer from healing bites. Apparently they don’t like Avon skin so soft spray
