Re: [Utah-astronomy] Re: Mosquito Repellants

I was introduced to Avon's "Skin So Soft" by students while diving at Blue Lake during the summer months when the mosquito population was in full swing, and it works really well. It even works to keep the flesh eating deer fly population at bay. But it washes off pretty easy and so we will usually keep a bottle of the stuff by the water with the emergency O2 kit for the long walk back to the vehicles. It's the most effective of the commercial stuff that I've used, and, it doesn't seem to attack scuba gear. It might be worth a try Deb!
