Mosquitoes

[-SharonA-]

As I am feeding fodder for mosquitoes, I douse myself in repellent several times a day and so far so good. Bites are at a minimum. But this early evening, because they cannot get to my limbs, I have at the moment 3 bites near my eye. Does anyone know if it safe to put repellent on face??
I am a little wary.

[-SharonA-]

They do have a habit of getting into unmentionable places!!!
Even when I go to the loo, I spray the room first!!!

And get to a doctor when the bite becomes infected ? :-)

Sharon...I think Tony has cracked it!

Thanks, Tony.....we're having lunch soon I think.........you won't miss me will you?.... :-)

[gness]

I did, Anne!....Honestly.....a dishy doctor with a smattering of English.......he gave me the antib and I'm almost better......x

[anneasquith]

G, you should have started antibiotics sooner? I think john thought so ;-)

[gness]

I know.....and John tried his best.....but Janet's a wee bit stubborn....x

[-SharonA-]

Very sexy Tony!!! And you're having lunch with Gness :-(

[tonyav]

Thanks, Tony.....we're having lunch soon I think.........you won't miss me will you?.... :-)

Never mind the mozzies, no wasps this time ;-)

[gness]

Don't worry, Sharon...you're still in with a chance......Tony just does his good deed for the day by taking an old lady and her shopping trolley out for the day....... :-)

[tonyav]

Well your welcome to, Sharon. Get that flight booked.

[gness]

Sharon....first time Tony and I met up we had a little accident with my shopping trolley....the second time I asked him to remove a wasp from the table...it stung him...you're in with more than a chance...... :-)

[-SharonA-]

Yeah with trail of mozzies following me!
August Tony just wait until August!!!

[tonyav]

Noooo problem, we can do it again in August.

[tonyav]

the second time I asked him to remove a wasp from the table...it stung him...you're in with more than a chance...... :-)

That was the third time, gness. On the second occasion there was a slight misunderstanding over a pint of Guinness ;-)

[gness]

Oh yes!...You're right.....you stole my Guinness!!....x

[tonyav]

LOL, I could have sworn that was mine.

We have been using skin so soft for so many years. I would be lost without it.

I find a map and compass work better.

You can also ask why are there so many around you, it's important to make a note of your surroundings. If there is plenty of stagnant water around for mosquitoes to lay their eggs, then naturally there will be more mosquitoes. Make sure you do what you can to reduce the possible mosquito breeding places in your area. Often you can't do much about this but you can do things like putting a spoonful of veg. oil to float on the surface of rainwater butts.

Spray a repellent, such as 'Boots Repel' or the like, onto a bandanna, fold it and tie it around your hat like a hat band.
No skin contact no worries!!
