mozzies

[mal]

the island was usually sprayed with insecticide in years past but unfortunatley the local population started to develope chest complaints and the spraying was stopped much to the delight of the little buggers

pity they didnt stil spray the place . i was eatin alive by mozzies. woke up every mornin with one or more bites, they are so irritatin, nothin really seemed to help the itch. prob shud hav drunk more alcohol then i wud not even feel them!!

anything with brewers yeast or vitamin b12 will help lots.....db  just realized why i didnt really get bit all week as i take vitamin b complex everyday and you dont....didnt hav it on hol tho which might explain why on the last few days i got one or two as it must have went out of my system by then???

Dimitris,was telling us about the sprayingof the mozzies.they stopped doing it for 2 reasons.the first was because it was making people ill and the second was for enviormental reasons.The secret is to put the mozzie cream on before you go out in an evening,putting it on any exposed skin including the face,but be careful of the eyes and lips.I also put some on above my socks under my trousers.I put a tablet in the mozzie killer before we go out and then a fresh one when we come back in.I have not been biten for about 20 years.

I have just recently read an advert in the "Times Travel Section" about an insect repellant called "Jungle Formula" - No joke - Honest!!
The Jungle Formula standard range is, as they quote, for use in
non-tropical areas. It does not give a price though.
Site is www.jungleformula.co.uk.

yeah iv heard of that too.a few of the ppl stayin in our apartments had it.seemed to work wel enough,not on me tho i still managed to get biten sum how.i do remember a few of them gettin biten also but not as much as me. think no matter wat tho they are attracted to different ppl. maybe sumthin to do with the blood? i dunno.the women were tortured with them , possibly sexist???

just did a wee bit of research there on internet, bored silly in work,  it seems that nobody knows exactly wat mozzies are attracted to but that they go for carbon dioxide and lactic acid emmissions, so my advice just dont breath out (carbon dioxide) n ul be fine
