    The only time I was bitten in Florida was last May We were at Blizzard Beach, I watched as a black fly landed on my arm, then I felt it [:O] It drew blood!! Only a small dot but I felt it, that is the only time though.[msnsmile]

    Garlic and Beer are also supposed to be good detterents, the beer probably due to the yeast like in Marmite.

    [/quote]i remember reading something about brewers yeast and insects not too much beer though or you end up with brewers droop[msncry]

    If you have been bitten[msncry], try Aveeno. Its an anti-itch gel spray, which we found to be very effective[msnsmile]. We bought ours from Walmart.

    Just bought the vitamin B tablets ready to take two-three weeks prior to our August holiday. Hopefully they will have the desired effect on the mossies and keep them at bay.[msnsmile2]
