My 10 year old gets bitten by mozzies and like you Balibarbie he gets sick of the smell of deet etc. But we got told of a cure for chicken pox itches and we use it on our kids to help with mozzie bites. We make up a small spray bottle of oil( we just used a massage oil we had in the cupboard) and add a few drops of lavender oil. we also use teatree oil to dab on and the kids always ask for it if bitten so it must work.Our 10 year old usually ends up with huge hard lumps from being bitten and sometimes they get infected but this has not happened since we used these. Goodluck
