I have the same issue. I have tried all kinds of bug spray and they just love me.Originally Posted by guyingb
I'd suggest that you bring some anthihistamines, they don't stop you from getting bitten, but they help to control the itch. AfterBite, cortisone cream, aloe all help with that also. Preventative - bug spray works but you have to use it LOL
Was there 2 weeks this Feb.....Not 1 bite this year.....
I only got one bite on my last trip. I didnt use any repellant but I did buy a brand from Value Master called Bunny's. It was 20 percent deet.
Ok call me crazy but I figured out that when we keep our room air conditioned,the flees/Mosquitos seem to leave me alone. However outdoors is another story. What ever they are,they love me too! I have found tho if I am really faithful to use my OFF the bites are kept to a minimum! The last few times I carry it with me especially right after the rain or in the evening! Only had one or two bites! Oh ya and I always have antihistamines.

Sand fleas and mosquito bits are hard for me to avoid when there, I do try to spray off on my feet and legs at around 4ish every day. I also pack benadryl and a very strong hydrocortisone.
If/when you get the bites around your ankles, and they are itching badly, may I suggest you try Macs calamine "D" anti-itch cream. It is a made in Jamaica product, and it was recommended to us by a Negril pharmacist. It should be available at any pharmacy, and from my personal experience it greatly (and quickly) relieves the itching from the ankle bites. (and mosquito bites too) The price isn't too bad either, about half the price of Benidryl's product. Try it and let me know what you think, maybe you can buy me a red stripe some day for the tip!
i use flea collers on my ankles,they work great

I heard that putting rum on your ankles works - but hate to waste good rum?
