I've also stopped using products that contain DEET and switched to natural repellents. And as long as the weather is not too hot, then I'll change my clothing as much as I can, especially my feet. I'll leave my sandals in the closet and wear a pair of La Canadienne knee high boots. Boots are not as comfortable as sandals, but it cuts down on the insect bits.

I've been looking for something like this. My feet are unprotected during the summer when I wear flat sandals so, clothing like this would be perfect.

Fascinating, I’ll definitely look into it if I ever venture out into the great outdoors again. The insects love me, and I could see that decreasing the need for Off! which would be really pleasant.

Thank for the information about the clothing. I have found that using natural lotions with citrus works very well.

I am starting to read/visit your blog regularly, it is the kind of blog that I need, because I always have a skin problem. Anyway, we are going to Bali in August and glad that you’ve posted an article about mosquitoes. I might have to buy “Buzz Off” from the pharmacy here in the U.S!
Thanks again for the article!

Natural insect repellents work very well and don’t have any potentially toxic effects on the body. For example mixing vitamins B1 and B3 and citronella (essential oil) in water will make a very effective insect repellent – we’ve used it in the tropical rainforest of north Queensland (Australia) with great results.

My understanding is that DEET does nothing to the mosquito until it comes in contact with it, irritating its feet. Would this chemical not work in the same manner? That would mean that the bug would have to come into contact with the clothing, which if it landed on you unclothed arm, it wouldn’t, making this kind of useless?

I use eucalyptus oil to deter bugs. Should I apply it directly to the skin or should I mix it with a lotion first? Thanks!
