I had the same problem when i came to Oz a few years ago and was advised to take vitamin B supplements and it really did work! its more of a long term option and the mozzies hate the smell of it on your skin. If you like veggiemite - eat plenty of that as its packed with vitamin B. Word of warning though - it turns your urine bright yellow (This really freaked me out!) and a little smelly!

All I am saying is Beware of Avon products. I found a chemical website the other day that tells you what is in most cosmetics and how dangerous they are to use and AVon products came out tops for carcenogenic properties and major organ problems.
I will try and find the link. It has put me off wearing alot of my perfumes as they contain toxic chemicals and dyes. I only looked by the way as I am allergic to some chemicals commonly used in cosmetics.

My mom is now scaring me saying I should be on Malaria tablets!! Whatever next.
