Last time we went up the West Coast, OH got bitten round the face and eyes and ended up in Oban Casualty Dept. for treatment. That was years ago and she's made me promise never to take her back !

I can't believe no-one knows about it?????? Aparantly the american side of avon sells it as pest repellant (not suitable for OH's!) It had a big write up in one of the papers bout 1-2yrs ago....turns out the journalist who was doing research up here at the time could barely get out of his hotel for the midgies and locals told him bout their secret weapon (avon skin-so-soft the green bottle) and he was that impressed with it he had a full page on how wonderful it was!!! (not sure if he wrote his other article!) I can honestly reccomend it :-)))) and it doesn't smell terrible like some of the other so called repellants. Just remember DON'T rub it in just spray and leave it :-))) Happy midgie free-ness!!

Sorry you feel you won't be back Fred, hope you change your mind on that one. We don't have them all the time so think about earlier or later in the year, and if it's a warm evening/day but with earlier rain then they'll be out! Kind of like the mosquito but plenty folk still go abroad on holiday. Pity we couldn't use them as a secret weapon - maybe it would stop some of the wars. That's what's wrong, Fred - my husband also drinks whisky and thinks they're biting him for a 'nip'!!
