the pre-bite DEET cocktails are good too... then I won't get bites! DEETaholics... that was funny.

I run with a group in Thailand and we finish our runs at 6.00pm prime mossy time. There are the OFF brigade but everyone seems to end up sharing while we stand and drink beer whilst donating blood! One type that seems to work just as well is heavy on Citronella, I think I spelt it correctly. Its an all natural insect repellent.

The best thing for bug bite itch is Rhuli gel. I've had a tube of it in my cabinet for a long time, so long that it is coated in perma-dust. But it STILL works, amazingly enough. Come to think of it, I think it works better now than it did when I first bought it.

Look for it under Bandaid brand--I don't think it's called Rhuli gel anymore.

Tiger Balm also works great for mossie bite itching. Just a little dab'll do you.
