Currently having the following conversation several times a day:
“Ohh! Your mosquito bites! You can buy mosquito nets in the town, you know.”
“Already got one, actually.”
“You are tucking it in nicely?”
“Yep.”
“You should use mosquito repellent then.”
“I am. In fact, I’m using a variety of 5 different kinds, since people keep recommending different ones to me, and none of them seem to do anything. I also have an electric mosquito killer and Black Hit.”
“And you’re still getting bitten that badly?”
“Yep.”
“Boy, do those mosquitoes love you.”
The little fuckers are starting to lay off a bit now, I think, touch wood. I killed one the other day, that’ll show ‘em.

I remember someone telling me that Rosemary oil and….Lemon eucalyptus oil though I don’t know how easy to hand you have things like that. Then again you might be sick of people suggesting things that don’t seem to work! Firebomb the little fuckers somehow
Good luck! xxxx

Yeah, you flame them with an aerosol can and a lighter. Toasted mozzies.
That or get a tan. Haha.
I was just saying to Hannah that it was time you did another blog. I should do it more often. Hurrah for Intercontinental telepathy.
Hope you’re having fun apart for the bites!

Heh. My solution to this was to have nothing in my blood worth drinking. Mosquitos don’t like a mix of one part Jack, one part sugar and one part motor oil, for some reason. Handy, though.

Jenny, try out the Johnson & Johnson mosquito repellent for babies. You should be able to find it in Levuka. It’s a small whitish/green bottle. It doesn’t smell on your skin and it actually does work!
