It's the same stuff, just re-branded.

So far it's only tiger balm and toothpaste that stops the itching if you get bitten, anything else?

There's this Chinese stuff called Pak Fah Yeow or White Flower Embrocation that really works to stop itching. You can buy it from most Chinese herbalist / supermarkets. If you are itching like mad, it acts like a fire extinguisher to it. It's a bit of a Chinese cure-all and is great for colds if you inhale it as with travel sickness, morning sickness etc and it smells a bit like olbas oil but more minty.

This is what it looks like:



But whatever you do, don't get it in your eyes cause it will sting like mad!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you get mossies in France? i don't ever remember them there but I do remember on the spanish coasts etc! I'm pale and always used to get eaten.

Yep. French mozzies, Belgian mozzies... pretty much anywhere with water. Difference of course is that they aren't malaria carriers - but they still bite and itch like b**gery!

I found all of these tips very usefull as I always seem to attract the mozzies. I have had great success with the Avon spray I use it after every shower and over sun tan lotion. If you do get bitten though I have found that dabbing bites with essential oil of Niaouli stops my ankles swelling like balloons!! and it stops the itching.
