I've learnt that the colour blue may deter mozzies. Don't know how true this is but it would be a interesting one to test out. I suffer BADLY from mozzie bites - anywhere & everywhere in the world. I have just spent $135Aus for 2 weeks (leaving June 25) of mozzie protection (Malaorone - can't take Doxycyclone) for Bali and have DEET roll on personal protection packed. I usually come away from Bali sick of the smell of it. Dr tells me that I must react to mozzie bites and assured me that everyone else gets bitten just as much but maybe they don't react. If anyone has anything that can help other than DEET and Stop Itch I'd be very grateful!
