Mossies hate me. Must be the Grimsby fish in my blood.
Now my girlfriend they love. She covers herself in Eau de Deet (anything with Deet in it).
In Australia we discovered strong Citronella candles/oil worked really well.

Hi David & Margaret
I ate Marmite on toast for breakfast every day for the two weeks prior to going over in early June. I had no bites for the first 10 days. Hurrah it worked.
Then they made a meal of me! 
What I had failed to do was continue with the savoury brown spread whilst over there. The effect had in fact worn off. I can vouch that Marmite does work but keep eating it until you go home.
We go out again in 4 weeks time and I've already started to take my immunity.

The vit B tablets are just as good as marmite if not better especially if like me you detest marmite. Perfume free toiletries, no perfume or hair spray, and plenty of 'Halley' from the pharmacy in Ayamonte. I was fine last time. I am reluctant to say I have found the solution. I am just more clued up and start protecting myself before I set off. Remember the worst time for bites starts soon I think in September.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
Did your home suffer a lot of damage? We've felt so sorry for everyone affected by the recent terrible flooding. It is just too awful to contemplate, losing treasured possessions like that and having to cope with all the repairs.
Hope things are soon looking up for you.

Re: Ayamonte - Costa Esuri - Part IV
I've looked at this from a number of angles and I give up. What is it? Flyer for Children in Kneed? Remains of a bargain bucket? The missing piece in my Lego crane. Fadesa's idea of a U-bend? I think we should be told.
Good to know that September is the worst time for such sightings. Wouldn't like to have missed them.
Be lucky, mind how you go. Jules

Hola! Buenos dias a todos,
Hi Cathy, glad to see you've made it out of the bath...was getting a bit worried...
Have you or has anyone made the trip from Seville airport to Ayamonte via the EA bus, then the Damas/Alsina Graells bus? How long was the journey? And which route was taken? I've looked at the beer thread, and there's a good site for spanish airports.
Re: marmite as a sunscreen. Does anyone remember the baby oil with iodine fad?
Hasta luego,
Carol

Worse than that. My dad, God rest his soul, used to coat us kids with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar during the hot summer months. I can still smell it now. I can't go into a chippy to this day without whipping my kecks off and laying on the floor.
