Mozzie allergy? and a good, natural repellant, please!

Ezy - we put it on as a repellent. I have no idea how two and two got put together but it did and mum always hands it out at a bbq, or the beach. The local Avon lady had no idea about it.

Actually I remember someone swearing by mango body butter from The Body Shop too. this customer went to Thailand or something and swears the only reason she didn't get bitten when everyone else did was the body butter.

one of DD's friends is allergic to mozzie bites and was very prone to them. She was told to start her DD on Vit B12 and it has worked! She hasn't had a bite since!

Thanks everyone, that gives me something good to go on.

I'll have to hunt down the Avon lady... I don't have the Body Shop mango Body Butter but I have their strawberry one

And I'll grab some soov tomorrow too, and check out the vit B12.

I'm gonna mozzie-proof the girl

If it's skeeter syndrome there isn't much you can do other than antihistamines. We have them on hand at Kinder as DS is horribly allergic. The cancer council also makes a sunscreen with an insect repellent in it which is really good.
