x-in-man Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Anyone else had a mass midge invasion? I was working on the boat the other eve, got bit to hell and back and been throwing up, buring up and just feeling shite for the past 4 days! Back about now, but I have scars that look like I've been juggling with hot chip fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minxie Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Isn't lavendar oil supposed to repel insects. I remember my Dad used to put a few sprigs of lavendar in his hat when doing the gardening to keep the flies away. You might smell like an old lady but at east you won't be bitten.

Manxman27 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 You need some of this Skin So Soft Soft & Fresh Dry Oil Body Spray seems to stop the midges biting. And for when they do you need Anthisan Cream to stop the itching and reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
