I speak with authority.
Mozzies are bastards. Its a fact.

I once calculated exactly how much blood I lost over the years and it was about 15 litres. BASTARDS. plus the itch, risk of diesease etc. and for me the "whine". that fekin noise wakes me from the deepest slumber.

The best remedy to not being bitten is to be near someone that the mozzies prefer to bite. Harsh I know.

Other than that you're pretty screwed.

Diet has a lot to do with how mossies find you thru your scent- so stay away from bananas, but eat lots of wheatgerm.

If you pee on a rag, then spray the rag with insecticide, then leave rag at far end of bedroom then at least you get a little respite when sleeping.
and shaving faom that contains anti-histamine is soothing when smeared over irritable bites.

I once worked in a project that that involved mass spraying of mosquitocides which we used to do in the evenng. About an hour later, one could see dead /dying mossies on the floor to a depth off about a centimeter.

I've never been happier!!!!
