I wear mosquito repellent shirt with long sleeves and long pants. Around my ankles and wrists and I put on Tiger Balm, the white kind, so it will not stain my clothing. I also dap it on my neck and cheeks. Be careful not to get it in your eyes! The mosquitoes and gnats stay away from delicious me. The Tiger Balm is for me the only salve that can take away the itching and bumps from mosquito bites. If there is one mosquito, it sure will find me. When I had so many bites that I looked l had polka dotted skin, I used a lot of Tiger Balm and I noticed that I did not get bitten any longer. Since then I use Tiger Balm when I go out where there may be mosquitoes. I told a friend who had the same problem. It helped her too. It may be cheaper to buy Tiger Balm in Asian stores. Some Costco or BJ stores also carry them--near Ben Gay, etc. Tiger Balm also helps to ease sore muscles, head aches and stuffy noses. Someone told me that the plebes at West Point use Tiger Balm all the time.
