Went down the lottie this afternoon and have come home with about 20 bites.
The buggers even got through a long sleeved top! Anyway, I recall a
discussion last year when an Avon product was mentioned as the best way to
keep the little sods at bay. Could someone please remind me what it was?
TIA

Skin So Soft. In this country they're not allowed to advertise it as
an insect repellent, as far as I'm aware. But it is. It works, IME.

I forgot to say that apparently, it's used by lumberjacks. This
produces a delightful mental picture..! ;-)
