It's not that tough Carol. After all the rain we've had recently, the mossies are out in force. When I go out at night, I wear long pants and spray my feet (cause I usually wear sandals), arms and neck. Then I spray some in my palm and rub it on my face.

I simply can't afford to get sick and be out of commission for a week or more.

At home, I have a bottle of Windex beside me at all times and as soon as I see one of the little nasties in the house, I nail her before she nails me.

Touch wood ... the last time I got sick from a mosquito was in 2001 when I had dengue fever for the 4th God awful time! I have since learned that the day after a rain, cover up and use deet or stay inside and keep the Windex handy. They drop like a stone when hit with Windex. It's very rewarding to watch them drop. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
