f**king mpzzies

[bah!]

So, holed up waiting for my dinner to walk past, or at least within range, and the mosquitos are just out of control ATM. Is there anything you can use that doesn't smell much?

Insect net.
Bloody hate mozzie.

Do not laugh but when I was a youngster, I regularly travelled to QLD (Toogoom to be exact) and sandflies and mossies around the house were abundant. My old man used to get some large empty jam tins and pack them with dried cow dung and set fire to it. The stuff smoldered well and kept the bugs away while burning.
Can't remember if gave off an aroma, though.

That was a very tried and true method way back, I've heard mutable stories about smouldering cow dung to keep away mosquitoes.

I wonder if the animals mind the burning cow dung, I know it might make me less popular at home.
As for nets, when I say they're out of control, they're stinging through king gee work pants, through my bandanna, through my shirt, around my wrists. Presently wrapped up in a cammo swag with just the muzzle pointing out.

Get out before you need a blood transfusion

Repellent and coils and Smokey stuff if there a few poking about .....netting if they really really want you. I have been in a hole less tent with perfectly sealed zippers in tee tree swamp country at night and they want you real bad but they just can’t get you .

I hardly get bitten by them, it must be the over dose of garlic I eat, however my wife gets nailed every time.

I had,a girlfriend that was seriously diabetic, mozzies never bothered her at all, might be worth considering

[Oldbloke]

Fuk, they eat me alive. I get welts pretty bad too.

Must be my blue blood.

Haha I’m the same. No idea why. She gets chewed up red raw. They don’t touch me.
It’s the March flies that i hate. Those things are brutal. Impervious to any repellent. They hunt in swarms and you hear them coming over the rise. Huge fangs.

[disco stu]

I've heard that people with higher vitamin b levels are bitten less. Might have been b12. Not sure if the truth in it though

Let’s all go stand in a swamp and count the mozzies on our backs and compare them with our medical records
