Re: Hepititus B Jab
I was going to suggest Jungle Spray that you can get from Tesco although I still got bitten, but I got bitten on my tummy and to be fair I didn't spray it there I was the only one in the family that got bitten so I think it definately worked and quite reasonably priced. Good luck with it!

High DEET contnet and be aware that the buggers can get you through clothing as my legs are testament to this fact.

Re: Hepititus B Jab
I dunno. They got me through two layers in places. I can assure you that some of the places I have bites were definitely not on public display
Ben's colleagues suggest dousing your clothes in repellent as well. They suggest a brand called "Off".
I suspect if you do that you may want to avoid naked flames

Re: Hepititus B Jab
Yeah I def agree with them being able to get you through your clothes I think they def like the girls though because as I said before i was the only one to get bitten and they really itch like buggerey!! The one on my tummy came up like a blood blister first didn't even look like a bite, but about a day and a half later they started!! I had one on the back of my neck that looked like a sign from the alien ship my children were convinced I was going to be obducted lol. On a happier note we were told that they are only around for about 8 weeks a year, not sure how true this is though, good luck!!

Re: Hepititus B Jab
Ben got bitten as well , but my clothes must have been thinner than his. He just got hands and a few on his face. I stopped counting when I got to thirty around one ankle alone , let alone the rest of my legs!!
I look particularly fetching at the moment , with mozzie bitten legs , bruises around both knee caps and a massive one across my stomach (nice shade of red/purple/yellow) from where I nearly ended up face down in Lake Ontario!!

My daughter is 7 and is having Hep B here. I have been told that they are phasing it out in Grade 7 and the current Grade 3 will be the last year as they are all getting it earlier with the other immunisations. Our older daughters have now had it to catch up but they won't get a BCG here as there is much less TB.

Re: Hepititus B Jab
Just to divert a little my 1 year old is having his MMR this week which I am fine with. However they also say he should have chicken pox and meningococcus. My other two didn't have these. I'm going to say no to the chicken pox but not sure about the other, any thoughts?

Getting chicken-pox later in life is far more dangerous than if someone were to get it as a young child. Perhaps informed people make decisions for their children based on facts, not pharmaceutical marketing gimmicks.
