Today, I found out I'm allergic to mosquito repellent. I fly out on a two month trip to India on Saturday. FML

Isn't there a little clip on mosquito repellent that you don't have to spray on your body?

garlic pills! they'll make you smell funky but you won't get bitten (:

Try using essential lavender oil. It certainly works for me. Also, if you get bitten, apply hot water (around 50-60°C) to the bite for around a minute and it will stop itching immediately because the heat destroys the proteins of the venom.

There are other stuff you can use like they don't like SkinSoSoft..

Tanning lotion with bronzer works wonders. Just remember sunscreen on top.

Use vaseline it works as a repellent. I have tried it.

are mosquito's supposed to be bad in India?

Not in the part I've visited. There are a lot of mosquitoes, but the bites aren't serious.

How do you feel about holes as toilets?

Not all places have those. However many places lack toilet paper.

Drink a tablespoon of vinegar. I works so well I've never even bought bug spray.
