Anyone else out there have the same problem as I do?
Mozzie spray gives me a sneezing bout. I find the best one for mozzies is "buzz off" but both the extra and medium strengh plays havoc with the nostrils.
Cheers

Get yourself on warfarin when hospital put me on it and we came over, they wouldn't come new me, one did it and died my feet.
----------------------------Please don't go on warfarin unless the Doctor advises it----------------------------------------------------
Me too Eggy but unfortunately without it I get bite to pieces.
My husband swears by taking anti histamines 2 weeks before. I always forget
For the last few years we have taken vitamin B12 complex two weeks before we go. We hardly get touched at all these days. You can pick these up for 99p at home bargains or other chemists. Apparently they're something in them that emits from your skin which the little blighters hate. We also eats lots of garlic In dishes which they are supposed to hate also
Hi
They say get a couple of garlic cloves a rub all over your body just before you go out in the evening and hay presto no BITES 🦟 also no Vampires🧛🏼♂️

Hi
As the by product of beer production is the main ingredient of Marmite perhaps drinking more beer would ?

Don't you use ant mosquito repellent at all Jo.
I didn't get bite once this year but I wear Jungle Formula. Also had air con on at night which keeps them away.
Hi Sonia no we didn't use anything last year and we prob got about 4 bites between us all holiday. Just watch I'll be like dot to dot this year lol
I have been covered in mozzie spray and I have still got bitten. Probably the high temperatures.

Hi
Neil no it wasn't me haha
I was watching a tv programme about which is the best mosquito repellent
They had a box with mosquitos in it with fine mesh on top first he put his hand on top of the mesh and the mosquitoes went to the mesh a load of mosquitoes was around the mesh
Then they tried different types of repellent creams and sprays
The best ones are the ones with Deet
He sprayed his hand and no mosquitoes
Some people do not like using mosquitoe repellent with Deet in because it had bad press reports
They say the amount of Deet in the repellent is very low and safe
We have always used a repellent with Deet we all okay I think 🤔 haha
Kev
Kevin
The moral being is that if someone knocks on yer door with a box of mozzies you say it was Pizza you ordered and close the door immediately!
Negg
Kevin
we have taken smidge with us the last few years is very good and it doesn't contain deet.Its available from Amazon.Will have to look out for you this year 26 days until we are in Arillas
Hi lin & Jim
13/8 to 27/8
Hope to see you and truth and his family also out
Kev
Black Country on tour !!!!
A good tip is not to wear any perfume or aftershave as this attracts them also.
Waiting for rhe comments now .....
Hi Karl
Sure will be black country on tour.What dates are you out there we arrive evening of 10th August
Repel from Boots contains 50% DEET and have always found it to do the trick when it comes to discouraging the mozzies. Has anyone visited the new Beach Point café which I understand has just re opened under a new name? Wondered what food they were offering and the cost and opening and closing times.... Any info greatly appreciated.. Thanks... Jon.
Hi Sonia
The only way you want get bits is not to wash or use deodorant for two weeks
You didn't hear Robinson Crusoe complaining about mosquitoes bites 🏖️🦟
Kev. Keep spaying
Hi Lin and Jim !
We're there 18-30 Aug . How long are you going for? You staying at Marvel?

Yer wrong there , Kevin. - Every week he always got bitten by Friday.

Hi Karl
Yes we are at the marvel again and we are there until 7th September
I also use Boots aftersun with insect repellent which I think helps. Didn't get one mozzie bite this year which is unheard of for me.
I tried boots but it's very hard to kick the little b******s when they buzz past.

Is that what people mean when they say the silent ones are the worst??

At the end of the day you can only try your best and get what you think will work based on your expeirience over the years. some years will be better and some worse thats the way it goes, as we know it is different for some than others i am sure it will not spoil our enjoyment of our brief spell in the place which we all covet.
I have read something along these lines before about it bring your blood type thats the main factor with Mozzie bites:
Things like your blood type and how much lactic acid you have on your skin play a big role. In the past, popular wisdom suggested wearing perfume, eating salty snacks or foods with potassium, such as bananas, increased your risk of mosquito bites. But scientists have found these to be myths.
