I find myself wondering, just WHO the heck, from ANYwhere in the world, doesn't have some experience with insects that bite ?

Anywhere ?

The number of threads on mosquito bites on here rivals the "where to eat" threads.

A friend recently recommended using a bug spray with Deet. Does anyone use that?

Have found Shiling Oil (available locally in the BVI) works real well, both as a repellent and also to kill the itch if you do get bitten.

If Rose ain't got it, you don't need it. Nothing like a Saturday night sitting at their bar, best (and quite often the funniest) conversations in the islands.

If a woman is pregnant and is infected with Zika the baby may be born with a small head.
