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?

Keep one of those candles on you or long sleeves and long pants would be a friend for that as well

Don't worry too much - I was there for 14 months and never used it. Have a wicked time though, it is an amazing country!! :)

Use baby lotion! It repels them.

Get some lemon scented dryer sheets and keep them in your pockets and run them on your skin, moscitos hate the scent of lemon

There are different chemicals in different brand repellants. It is highly unlikely that you are allergic to them all. Try a different brand, and good luck OP!

Avon skin so soft is one of the best insect repellents you can buy. You should try that.

When I was a kid, we just took garlic pills to prevent bug bites. Worked pretty well. I'm like a bug magnet, and I'd only get a bite or two. Usually you need to start taking them a bit sooner, but might be worth a shot. Good luck!!

Try some natural repellents, or one of those clip things. Good luck OP!
