Jungle Formula bug/midge/moskito repellant

I got eaten alive by these damn Scottish midges the other day, so it reminded me to go buy some bug-spray. I had this stuff a few years ago when i was in Barbados... i used the tropical variant - awesome stuff.

Anyway, found an online shop that gives you the 'Bite & Sting' relief spray, free with a purchase of almost any variant of the bug spray, from home & garden use to tropical use, pumps, roll-ons and spray.

Also, you can get free shipping by signing up to their mailing list (un-sign up afterwards if you wish).

I got the 75ml Tropical pump spray version, plus the free spray for £7 - which is a bargain, as this stuff is normally quite expensive.

So, for anyone going abroad, anywhere remotely 'remote' in Scotland, or just likes the outdoors in general - stock up !

Edit: Apparently, as a new user (been here for years ??) i can't post links *rolls eyes*... Google The Health Counter .com then search their site for 'Jungle' and you'll find them.

Chris :)

    Or just go for Avon Skin so Soft which quite often on offer and those wee beasties hate the stuff.

    Could I ask which ones you use? I've just been on the website and there seems to be a variety of different formulas. I'm off to Egypt on Saturday so anything that helps me not get eaten alive would be brilliant! Thanks a lot. :beer:

    Also try life systems repellents. I always get bitten and the Avon stuff never works for me and this is brilliant. Also Burts Bees.
