i always get eaten alive too.* i have found nothing that keeps them totally away but i was given a bottle of maxi deet made by sawyer.* it is 98.11 % deet.* compared to like off and stuff which is i think 30% or less.** my sister said when she used it sparingly it made her numb. i havent had that problem and i have used it alot.* in the summer at some points i look like i have a disease from all the bites sometimes......lol* i have also heard to take a sheet of bounce and rub it on you and then stick it in your waist band.* didnt work for me but it might work for you.* good luck!

We have that problem in missouri alot. What I have found the works well is Skin So Soft by Avon..And its good for your skin too..You want the orginal one in the lite teal bottle..My husband turned me on to this years ago. He was a advid outdoors person..Give it a try..Kathy In Missouri

p.s.* i remembered something else too.* the vitamin b complex after taken for a few weeks is supposed to keep them away.

As a matter of fact Skin So Soft by Avon has just the thing!** You can even order it on my web site and they will deliver it to your door!* Go to Thank You they will ask you to fill out a profile and you can order anything Avon has to offer and you do this with your credit card!* I use it an it works they have the spray on, lotions and toweletts

*I was eaten alive during my walk today.* Is there any good repellant that works.* Please slimbuddy in distress!

i read that if you take cucumbers,* peel them,* save the peels.* put the cucmbers in a blender and puree.* strain the pulp and rub the juice on you it will repel the mosquitoes.* and is good for your skin.** the peels are supposed to keep ants and roaches away.*
