Mosquito bite prevention Italy May

I suffer badly from mosquito bites. Most sprays like Deet have never worked for me. The only thing that helped was vitamin B1 tablets, take every day for about 2 weeks before the trip and every day that you are away. They never stopped me getting bites but they were much smaller and less significant than previously. I do empathise with anyone who goes through this, it used to make my holidays so miserable that I almost felt like not going away anymore.

It’s never occurred to me to use insect repellent in Italy🤔 I’ve been lots of times to different parts including Florence and the surrounding countryside and I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem- or not to notice anyway.

Still I use Jungle Formula when travelling to other parts of the world. It’s always been effective.

Incognito is a plant based, free from DEET, mosquito repellent. It's recommended by the WHO and NHS for use in high risk, from mosquito born disease, parts of the
world.
I was in Florence in September and didn't see a mosquito, nor was I bitten. May is the start of the mosquito season, September, peak time.
Have a wonderful experience in this beautiful city.

You can get small sticky impregnated discs you attach to a part of your clothing and they stop insects biting you. We get them at the chemist here. Bushman’s is the best insect repellant if you can get it there. Spray or roll on. We get some really nasty biters in parts of Australia and both those things stop them in their tracks.
