Strong insect repellant is your first line of defence against these pests
I heard that if you eat vegemite it makes them stay away from you.
use a good mosquito repellant or apply creams that avoid you from getting mosquito bites or use sprays that keep mosquitoes away.
Unfortunately for me , though repellent decreases the amount of times i get bitten by mossies it doesn't get rid of the problem as i always seem to get bitten really badly....

Thats because of the Vitamin B in it which is repellent to the little critters, so if you don't like "vegemite" (Thats marmite to the discerning english person) you can take Vit B supplememnts, but you have to start doing it about two weeks before going to the place.
As for repellent, this generally contains DEET which is a really nasty chemical that is also carcinogenic (I know I know what isn't these days) but it's always nice to think about these extra less noxious devices for seeing the buggers off!!
COme to London..there's no mosquitos here. When in THailand use Tiger Balm, but not on your genitals!
