Whoo!! Just back from 'over the hill' today, and I can say despite taking every precaution, I have NEVER had so many bites. damn things blow up so big and I have had to resort to putting on antihistamine cream. Despite all the so called remedies one poor chap I saw in the Armourada had 20 bites on his legs. Blasted things.

Trouble is mate - the word buzzed out - that you were as tasty as a piece of fillet steak!! LOL
Hope you heal fast - don't be tempted to scratch the bites!!
Just for the record - I have never been bitten in Corfu by a mozzie, in 27 years!! (Makes you sick!!) LOL

When we were out in the 2nd half of June we got bitten on a number of occasions and i hadn't been bitten for a number of years in the Med. Found it a real problem in San Stef, but when we bought the cintrenella during our 2nd week (on recommendation) it seemed to keep the blighters away.

Just returned from Carvoeiro on The Algarve (annual jaunt for us for last 8 years) this week and we didn't see a single mosquito, let alone get bitten by one!

I can never understand why I don't get bitten, everyone else has at some stage - but never very much!
My daughter-in-law got badly bitten one evening and they all went to blisters!!

Bizarre this...due to a near bereavement the local vicar came to see me yesterday and noted my illuminous legs (Thank you mozzies) and stated that he found that wet wipes- the things for wiping your, er, a**e with were very good for calming mozzie bite irritation. I did it and had a peaceful night. So there you have it an answer of the divine sort!!

That's a useful bit of info!!!! In the same vein my GP suggested Anusol for a shoulder soft tissue problem. It too worked.

I got only one bite this year (none last year) and Roy as normal didn't get one bite. He puts it down to the marmite he eats although we do use Jungle Formula as well. I always take antihistamine tables with us just in case as well to calm down any itching.
