There were a lot of mozzies around the last couple of weeks but we didnt get as bitten as much as last year. The Vit B1 taking it before and during the hols, also marmite on toast or crackers everyday (but it might be all in the mind!). We did get air con this time which kept the room cool and the mozzies out. I wont describe the moments of Mike chasing the mozzies with a towel like a helicopter blades above his head standing on his bed toooo much but it was good for a laugh!
Word of warning though that anyone going to the Arillas Bay Apartments behind the Sea Breeze, there is no air con at all.... no glass windows, only shutter doors. A couple were staying there and the young girl had 200 bites!!! They popped over into the Bardis Studios spoke to Poppy and were able to get a room for a few nights that was left of their holiday. They felt it was worth it rather than being bitten to death for the rest of it... I dont know whether it is because it is a bit further back from the road and in amongst the trees and bushes. Bobby at the Bardis said a visitor had an allergic reaction to a bite and had to have injections which cost him 100 euros a shot.
Lynda used SSS but it didnt work, within 1/2 hr she had about a dozen bites, I never used ours we had other stuff and also the clicker worked... Germolene was the best thing ever! It helps to heal and also has an anesthetic in it to take out the itch.
