oscarsdad Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Little **** got me last night on the farm...my right arm has been painful all day and the mrs has just pointed out it is twice the size of my other arm. Never been bitten by one before and have never reacted to an insect bite but this bloody hurts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Avon skin so soft is excellent, shame you look like a male stripper when you have covered yourself in it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds chimp Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 avon skin so soft...picked up 5 bottles as it is on offfer.....not that i look at the mag often.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilo17 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Jungle formula "tropical strength" never been bitten with this stuff on, as for bites "tiger balm" helps with the swelling and pain relief I have also heard good reports on "skin so soft" but im sure I had some a few years back and still got bitten, I think i will give it another go just to see. Ive heard that they slice your skin open in a scissor like motion thats why it bleeds so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRNDL Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I was bitten three times last week. No severe reaction, just like a midge bite to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePestControllers Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 you can buy anti mosquito clothing not sure if it works but it is supposed to be for when you go on safari to stop bitting insects. craghoppers do some shirts and trousers in good colours. as anyone used this type of clothing what do you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fandango Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Any of the good mozzy repelants,, I worked in Africa for years so know how important it is not to get bitten,,,,,,, so when ever i am in a area which is likly to be midge, kleg, mozy, or fly I use a spray repelants called easy sleep which is very good and have always got a can handy in my net bag,, even used it on the dog while on the marsh early in the season',,,,,, stops the midges bothering her and me! Even sprayed some on a pile of dead pidgeons to stop the blue bottles and it worked ,,,,,,,,,, smell nice to mmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
