The repellant from Mercadona works well but stinks.  Some people find skin so soft from Avon works or again from Mercadona in the baby aisle is nenuco a baby cologne, works a treat for hubby, although, not so much for me.

Eating outside try burning the citronella spirals that come from all good Chino shops🤣🤣, again the smell isn't brilliant but they work.  Make sure you have no open water in things like your plant saucers as they love that.  Oh and you can also try planting basil, rosemary, lavender and marigolds as they have mosquito repellent properties.

Hopefully some of that will help!  Otherwise you are obviously just a tasty morsel as far as the mozzies are concerned ☹️☹️

Take antihistamine tabs for a couple of weeks at the start of the mozzie season. You'll find that in due course your body will react less to the bites. I've been here 3 years and don't even notice them now.

Many thanks I do take them everyday as I suffer with hay fever.   Hopefully as you say after a while I won’t even notice them.   Thanks for replying 😁
