Repelling Mosquitoes!
Mosquitoes can be pesky at best and ruin your vacation by transmitting the likes of Dengue fever or malaria. Aside from the usual bug sprays like Off and Avon Skin So Soft... and even Deet in some parts of the world (better than getting Dengue fever!), here are two tips we've picked up for repelling mosquitoes.
1. Take one Vitamin B-1 tablet a day. The vitamin transmits an odor (undetectable by humans) that mosquitoes, gnats and black flies apparently don't like.
2. Rub a Bounce fabric softner sheet on your arms and legs and keep a sheet in your pocket.
3. Plant rosemary and basil in your garden-- natural repellents!
