Shit Wendy! When I was in Romania I got bitten by so many mosquitos it was unreal! I had deet impregnated wrist and ankle bands, and sprayed myself with this herbal repellant so I stank - and the damn things still nailed me - by the end of my month there I had over 80 bites on me - itched like hell, mostly on my feet and ankles.
I have tried 100% Deet too, and it doesn't keep them off me
