Now, when I was in Africa ...... :zzz:

You'd be surprised to know that parts of the US did have malaria in those long ago ages.

I wasn't visiting when this thread started, but better late....

These protections are reccommended, and they're environmentally good:

Also, for people with roach problems, get a gecko, they love to eat roaches.

Re: Mosquitos

Get some pennyroyal essential oil, pour a few drops in a full bottle of baby oil, and lather. Try it.

The kids and I were eaten alive by no-see-ums (sand fleas) a few years ago. We were sratching for over two weeks, we were eaten that badly.

Himself didn't even get a bite :rolleyes:

Re: Mosquitos

I had forgotten, lemon eucalyptus extract is now a highly recommended protection against many biting insects, including mosquitos.

Yup. Mix it with pennyroyal and you shouldn't get bitten.

Re: Mosquitos

It is an essential oil, like lavender, etc. You can pick it up online.
