we were at honeymoon guesthouse a few weeks ago, and think the mossie nets are mainly for effect! i have probs with bites, and find that silver clove cream stops the itch pretty well. we also take doxycycline each day, as an antibiotic it protects against malaria, also skin/tummy bugs pretty well. i had lots of bites, but mainly from cane mites. in retrospect i should have taken antihistamines, but managed, and they didn't get infected. honeymoon is a great place with beautiful breakfasts,refillable water jugs, and 2 thermoses of hot water each day -for tea or coffee.
