Mosquito bites - prevention & cures please....?!


Question:

Mosquito bites - prevention & cures please....?

am suffering from mosquito bites (in Spain) and would like advice on 1) prevention and 2) cures (if the former does not work!!). Have tried spraying with lemon cologne before going out, with reasonable success, but if you miss a bit the blighters seem to find it and bite me! Have also tried a hot
t-bag on a bite, which seems to take the sting out, but my bites tend to go bad easily. Any help / advice would be much appreciated - thanks!

I live in Florida capital of mosquito issues.
You need an repelant that contains, DEET, it's the best for keeping these pests off you.
Wair long sleeves and stay in during the early evening, and morning, this is when they feed.
Don't wair colognes or sent, some are attracted by these.
Rub your bits with a mint alcohol, or Absorbean Jr. ( I am not my spelling is correct), but either works great on bites.
If your bites go bad on you it means you are allergic to the bites and infected wash them and put an anti biotic antiseptic ointment on them to kill and prevent further infection.
Go to the doctor if they don't clear up.
The best advise is don't get bit stay in doors during their peek feeding times, early evening, morning and after it rains, and if there is a lot of humidity in the air.
This too attracts them.
They are not to be messed with, mosquito bites can be fatal.
Malaria, West Nial viruses, plus the possibility of allergy.
Sweat attracts these pest too, so try to stay cool and in where there is a/c. If a/c exsists in Spain take advantage of it.
Powder like talc can help in this aria.
Showers, and talc powders can be a big help.
The repelant is best if you need to be out side.
DEET is a plant oil that mosquitos and other biting pests hate.
Believe me I know.
I am a Floridian, 46 years now..
