In most cases, this is me. I find it somewhat hard to believe that wearing something around my wrist will keep the mosquitoes at bay and prevent them from biting me anywhere else, but I'll try anything! Thanks for the tip!

Odd to see when people are told of something that actually works, they rant on about some 'home remedy' that most often doesn't. 'megadoses' of Vitamin D...marmite (yuck), fabric softener. Good luck with all that! I'm going to save myself the hassle and try the Bug Bam. Thanks. Hmm.

(It's a yeast extract, a by-product, I believe, of brewing) Only thing is ... after such a dose, you aren't nice to be near for quite a while. Another method would be to start smoking again ... but I'll never go down that route!
