is there mosquito's in turkey?

[Louise]

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

 

[squeakage]

i expect so...

 

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

 

is there lots of fresh water?

[russelldust]

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

[Louise]

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

[Dawn]

Or Avons sunscreen with built in mossi repelant

[BenRW]

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 )

[dissolved girl]

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

[Louise]

yes, im going marmaris

 

is it nice?

[dissolved girl]

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

[Louise]
