Hi all just wondering if anyone has got any tips or suggestions for preventing insect bites. Maybe our Australian members will, as you have even more of the nasty blighters over there! I am really susceptible to midge and mosquito bites and they swell right up. (Had to stop going to Greece after the last time when I got really ill when the bites got infected and I ended up with balloon sized swellings on my legs and a fever ) So I really have to try and prevent them. This year seems the worst ever, even here in Britain I am getting them every time I leave the house, even on my face. I have tried googling but for every suggestion made, someone else says it doesnt work. I do already take anti-histamines, without them I would probably be totally kaput! Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

Thanks darkhorse, may try that, altho its mainly something I want to stop the little *****s biting in the first place. Came in from gardening yesterday with a fresh lot of bites. I had to physically haul a cleg (large blood-sucking fly - not sure if you get them in the south) out of my arm where it was stubbornly attached & having a good chow down on me! Thats left a huge lump
