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?

I'm from India. It's the world's largest democracy and fastest growing economy. The only pest in this situation is you :/

I'm from India and dengue is spreading fast here. FYL.

Just make sure your blood Is bitter, so No sugary sweets, alcohol such as beer will actually help

Try Avon Skin So Soft. Works great!

At least you found out before your trip. Now you can get a true Indian experience with alternative Indian solutions. Or, you know, all the other American solutions still available.

I am too! I have to use a lavender oil spray. It works better than any bug spray and it smells good :)

Go to Bath and Body Works and buy their Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion and body spray. It repels almost all insects. Trust me, I used it to repel ticks, fire ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and everything else when I was in the carolinas

You might be allergic to DEET, the stuff that makes mosquitos go away, which is a pretty common allergy. You can find some DEET free mosquito repellent on Amazon
