Mosquitoes

Thats where I live FMM, are we immune up there?

May I respectfully suggest you all move to the top of Restaurant Hill where we don't seem to suffer from the same mozzie problem that the rest of you seem to be experiencing!

Thank god!! I had a few bites last time i was in portugal, i seem to take a reaction to them. Definitely bringing some of the spray stuff or cream just incase!

Well, appears that the methods you are using as repellant are not considered to work, yet you are not being bitten ... I rest my case

I find if I put Gaynor nearest to the window in the bedroom I never get bitten

Never seen a mozzie around Solferias hill, but down in the valley its a different story. I understand pet Tarantula's and Iguana's are good as well - eco friendly and definitley a talking point

fmm, I think you should be thanking me, I live just behind you and seem to attract the lot!

You have my unreserved thanks in that case

We live in Vale De Milho and have never had a problem, perhaps the sea air drives them away.

Be careful with DEET you ladies, my better half used it while on holiday in March, she wore an imitation pearl bracelet/bangle thing and the deet took the enamel off her bracelet and it stuck to her arm. I got the blame (as usual) for buying the stuff for her, dangerous she alleged, she hadn't let it evaporate before applying ornaments being the main problem !! Be aware

Other than aforementioned "problem" it is an excellent repellent.

Don't wash under your arms for a few weeks, it keeps the mossies away good style, plus your family, friends and neighbours, and you'll always get a table in your local restaurant.

Eat marmite on toast for brekkie

Must make a nice change from the aromatic allure of wee and biscuits!

You will need a mosquito repellent if you suffer from bites. This natural product is fantastic and much safer than user deet products. I suffer from cancer and my doctors suggested using this natural product. It really is good for small children too plus I use it on my horses it keeps the midges away too. You can purchase it oneline.

If you are bitten try smearing a small amount of toothpaste over the bight, really good for stopping itching. I was bitten a few years back after falling asleep outside the villa we were staying in, ankles, elbows hands all over.Tried all the creams for mossie bites from the chemist to no avail. Only thing that stopped the itching was the toothpaste remedy I googled on the internet.

Thanks ill definitely try that! The other thing i got when i was in carvoeiro was horrible heat rash yuck! its the one thing that ruins my holiday. someone told me to take antihistimines for 2 weeks before i go to the sun, tried it before i went to Spain in may and it seemed to work so ill be stocking up for september!
