Garlic tablets (the non smelly type) work for me -and they are good for you too!

[MrBen]

It's really weird how one person can get savaged and someone lying next to you emerges unscathed? My lady clearly has something in her blood - she never gets bitten. Whereas they dine out on me on a regular basis.

Up in the highlands, the burliest locals swear by Avons Skin so soft and it's sold at petrol stations solely for this reason. It works with regular application but downside is that you'l smell a bit like an old lady.

Dear Forumites - i am putting an order in by Friday for Avon so if you wanted to get some Skin so Soft please PM me.

The offer this campaign is still very good - ?3.10 each (still saving over ?2). I can also pop you a current brochure through the door if you fancied anything else.

Thanks

Hello,

I specialise in mixing natural essential oils for various types of rooms and I have recently added a Mosquito Repellent to my range, and it sits well within reed diffusers.

they come in 50ml or 100ml - they last minimum 4 months upwards

If this is something that you maybe interested in let me know I live and work in Brockley.

I know the season is changing but is food for thought also it can be safely packed in your luggage for your travels to hot countries.

Drop me a line

I get bitten every time I play in the park atm and last night I got bitten TWICE at jags...........and of course everyone assumes I have a flea infestation because I have cats! Enough is enough! grrrrrr....

[aalisam]

No you are quite wrong Mockney, because when I have lapses of complacency and don't follow the regime I get bitten and I react to it. Home and abroad.

Isn't there some kind of nasty biting black fly that lurks around the Peckham Rye park area?

[binary_star]

I am definitely getting bitten by two different insects on P.Rye park - one causes a sharp pain and blood after the bite and the other nothing but an unbearable itching some time afterwards. The Avon stuff works well but you need to apply liberally and it can leave marks on light clothing so I'm told, although not noticed myself.
