1. I regularly take a multi-B of high dosage, and it doesn't help me with bugs. I am a bug magnet, while those with me experience nothing I am a pin cushion.
2. I will be taking picaridin spray with me in Jan, as well as DEET.
3. I do use medication to control itching like Allegra or whatever.
Like I tried to imply, I never noticed the bites or the bitters, just the red spots afterwards and it didn't matter which ointment I used post-bite to treat the bite/red spot; after several days they would clear, but there were always new ones to take their place.
Fortunately, there is always Cruzan rum around as well as Carib beer (no I don't mix them together).
Which may explain the error in my other current postings to snorkeling locations on St. T.
