There seem to be very few mosquitoes, that I have seen, right now. Yes, they are around but haven't really bothered me. As for sand fleas, I always spray my legs before going out to the beach at night or after it rains. If I am at a beach bar I also spray my arms because there is sand on the tables even if you don't see it. The other thing I do is to shower when I get back so there is no sand on me at all. I once had sand fleas in my bed - it has never happened again.

Just flew in last night from chill land...10 great days (never have had a bum day) sand fleas are same as it ever was, stay away at dusk, or take a break then. We HAVE to be up every morn at dawn on a beach (poka dot legs where surf washed off bug juice). But by far the biggest concern was from friends/locals who have contracted chickengunia(?)in the past year or so. Spread by skeetos so spray well in evening. By the end of our trip I was calling it chickenganja. Never any kind of deal breaker on a Jamaica visit, just a caution for precaution. As always, the good that Jamaica has offered far offsets any bad.
Here now. Got one or two mosquito bites. No fleas. Not using bug repellent.
Yesterday I did take a shot from a jelly fish in water off of White Sands near edge of the roped of section. It was more irritating than painful. Used a mixture of Red Stripe and punch to sooth it.

Did you smear that on or drink it down?
If you are worried about something, do something about it. If there is nothing you can do, why worry!
I was advised by Doctor Love to drink it down. Best medicine I ever had. Worked like a charm. Feels great today.
mosquitos were no problem at all.didnt even see one.i wear flea collers on my ankles,so of course sand fleas were also no problem,not one bite
??? Sorry for the ignorance; I envision dog flea collars! What are you referring to?
sand fleas really love me,i used to get hundreds of sand flea bites on my legs.i tried DOG flea collers fastened loosly on each ankle so they can slide up and down your legs.i put them on when I get there and take them off when I leave for the airport.you even wear them in the water swimming.in the 15 years that ive been using them I went from hundreds of bites to zero in the 3 weeks time I spend there.putting them on loosely prevents you from getting a rash because the water washes off any residue from the flea collers.
