My sister has been down now for about 6 weeks and is just reaching the point where the mosquitos do not attack her. She did at first accuse me of inviting me down to feed them as I would cavalierly say, somewhat unsympatheically, "they do not bite me" (which they actually rarely do)
anyway.. aside from the worries about dengue...
she has found the banana peels... a treatment that she found somewhere on the internet.. actually takes the swelling and itching away. She keeps pieces in the fridge in a sealed box and just rubs them on,
Of course, it may be that the combo aroma of banana peel and deet now account for the lack of mosquito love.
I waited for several weeks to post this to make sure that it worked.
it does.
