Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Too many to mention
Is it too much to ask, in these days of high-tech, genetically modified everything, for an insect repellent that really works?
I live and play on the West Coast of Scotland, where the midges are thick and angry. To step out of your car is to invite them to feast on your own flesh and herald at least two days of incessant itching.
I have tried Jungle Formula, Shoo!, Bug-Off, a myriad of stores' own brand repellants and all they have done is melt any plastic they have touched and sting my poor face. They just DO NOT WORK. The only solution is a net but this makes you look like a serial killer on the prowl. I wish somone would come up with a truly effective, sweat proof repellant that leaves your face in a reasonable condition after you've used it.

- 24/10/00 You must try Avon Skin-so-soft Dry Oil spray in Original fragrance. It really does work when on holiday and I have recommended it to people going to Scotland and they have been very impressed. Try it! |

- 15/08/00 oh and a ps....if you're allergic to the bites (I am!) take clarityn immediately after being bitten and they won't swell and itch as badly.... :)
If you wait and take it when it's already itchy it doesn't work anywhere near as well! |

- 15/08/00 LOL! I *remember* the midges in Western Scotland from many many family holidays there as a kid.....they *always* went for me! I agree that citronella is good..nothing works 100% for me though.......apparently you can discourage them by taking vit B supplements orally too! |
