I have a mosquito coil lit.
I have doused my ankles in OFF! (A great name but it seems one word short)
I have placed two large, industrial-sized fans around me to provide a windy force field.
There are more mosquitoes at night. It is not yet 11am.
I am getting bitten a lot.
They were right.
Mosquitoes ARE worse in the wet season.

Do they sell beekeeper suits in Nica? Perhaps you can find one on eBay? That'll show 'em.

Sounds like a plan.
It just goes with the territory - ying and yang - see earlier post.
Whenever I go home, about three days in I feel different. Then I realise it's because I don't have a single mozzie bite.

In Singapore we use anything with a tea-tree oil base.
Also, in Australia, where the mozzies aren't prevalent but are as big as horses, I find sucking on Eucalyptus lozenges til the stuff permeates your skin works. Tea Tree lozenges work just as well.
Doing a quick search I found this one in the US(http://www.mosquitobreath.com/pages/3/index.htm), and this one in the UK(http://www.ciao.co.uk/Herbal_Authority_Tea_Tree_Oil_Lozenges__5293312). I find this method works the best.
Good luck!

thanks Ozlady - I'm now trying everything. Just bought a net, invested in B1 vitamin tablets and have coils and spray.
Sad, I know, but I am going nuts with the bites.
