The best bug repellant I used at Lakeside was you two guys; I didn't get a bite one. I guess they just don't like me. I don't like the smell of Skin so Soft; it's a little to froo froo for me... Joe Borgione -------------------

I have had ok success with the pump spray "OFF" brand repellent; that seems to usually keep most of 'em at bay. Two layers of long sleeve shirts, gloves, and a hat also helps!
Boy, that can get hard to do if it's a hot summer night...
My hands got hammered the worst at Lakeside -- I didn't think to bring anything with that night
They got me on the neck and face. Looked like I had rubbed poison-ivy on my face the next day!
(wasn't expecting mosquitos in the desert). I've also heard that Avon "Skin So Soft" lotion works very well; well enough that Avon actually markets it as a dual purpose lotion, recommended for repelling insects!
Hey, my wife just might have some of that. It won't make me smell all froo-froo, will it? ;)
