just wondered if anyone knew if i had to take that plug in stuff & repellant

 

& if phillis will be eaten alive by bugs larger than himself

 

i expect so...

 

if there's fresh water around there tend to be more

 

is there lots of fresh water?

yes there are mossies everywhere it is hot- mostly near static water. no malaria though- go for boots mossie repellent with a high DEET content

for some reason i have never been bitten by one, but everyone else seems to look like they have chicken pox

 

they obviously dont like the taste of me

Or Avons sunscreen with built in mossi repelant

yes there are

 

i recommend a spray called pyrethrum

 

its not a repellant but when u get bitten u spray it on and it calms it down until you no longer noticve it and want to scratch it any more. Reduces the size of it as well

 

whenever u start to feel it again afterwards then just spray a bit more on

 

Its one of those homeopathic remedies

 

pretty sure u can get it in boots

 

also get autan repellant. its like a deodorant stick and all u need to do is do a stripe of it up ur legs and arms and other exposed parts and it keeps them away

 

(did u say in another thread u were going to marmaris cos i have been to the sunsail site there b4. Really nice area )

I went once and didn't get bitten. Whereabouts are you going?

yes, im going marmaris

 

is it nice?

Ooh I went to Marmaris a few years ago. It's nice but beware of the constant street hassling to buy stuff or eat in someone's restaurant, it's relentless

 

There's not much of a beach either, but I'd recommend going on a couple of the boat cruises on offer to Turtle Beach and other places

cheers luvvie
