I always bring a big bottle of Avon Skin so Soft and keep a thick layer on, especially at night. Not sure if it keeps them away or if it's so thick they drown in it, but it always works pretty good for me, and it's also a great moisturizer after being out in the sun all day.
Well, I am bringing a small bottle of deep woods off.
Last time I was in Negril - never got any bites so who knows I guess.
Hahahaha... I used the rum too TandJ - Drank lots and didn't feel a thing!
Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.
Well someone said to put it on my ankles - heck, I can kill the itch just by drinking it! LOL easy choice!!!Originally Posted by NikkiB
Maybe this only works for some people and many will be sure to call it a Myth.....
But, my first time in Jamaica I was bitten from head to toe.
Since then, we started taking 100mg of Vitamin B1 daily 6-8 weeks before our vacation (and continue taking during). We have not had one bite since! And yes, we do walk on the beach at night and dine with our feet in the sand.
Its not always what you say, but How you say it that matters most.....
Never Judge a Person until you have walked a mile in his Moccasins.
Moccasins, not shoes, then you will feel every sharp stone they have had to walk upon.
The bugs also adore me. But I take a B1 vitamin every day for two weeks before my trip and that has really helped me with the bites. I still get a few bites, but not the 50 or 60 that I usually get. Antihistamines will also help with the itching.
Ok so now I'm curious about this vitamin thing - where did you guys hear about this?
Besides, I really don't need an excuse to drink rum! LOL
Is it B1 or B12?
When I was in Negril 3 weeks ago and I saw a guy with white bands around his ankles. They looked like some kind of all inclusive band. I asked him what they were and he replied flea collars. He said he used to get bit all the time until he started using them.
I would not recommend wearing flea collars around your ankles or any other part of your body. The collars contain toxic chemicals that can cause cancer.. Stick to the stuff that is made for humans!
