Never tried any of this stuff but we are bringing it all to see what works. Don't really know if any of this is necessary or if all the hype is true. Really want to have a great time and not get sick. Off course a lot of this preparation will fall by the wayside once we get a buzz and start partying so who knows. Then again you can put all this crap on and get stung by a stingray, what can you buy that keeps them away?
The lemon thing isn't to stop them from biting, as it doesn't, it was to stop the itch. You need DEET. Any of the natural repellants will need to be re-applied every 30 minutes to be effective at all.
