Insect Bites

loopyloulou_3

I am allergic to mosquito bites, they tend to swell to at least 2 or 3 inches in diameter (OUCH!)

I am already fed up this year with getting 2 or 3 bites each night - it doesnt help that we live near to a marina and get lots of bugs around in the evenings.

I would love to know if anyone has any tips on keeping them away from me - and treating the bites when i have been bitten!

thank you!!

ps I eat loads of garlic and use citronella candles and it doesnt seem to make much difference!
