Someone told me that eating marmite for a few weeks before a holiday helps keep the midges etc away. I usually get bitten badly and they develop into itchy watery lumps so I thought this was worth a try (I like marmite anyway) About 3 weeks before our Canada trip I started with marmite on toast every day, whilst there I continued with this and also used the deet lotion and lastly avon skin so soft. During our 3 weeks there I had 5 bites which were itchy but went away quickly - this is much less than I get during one day in Scotland or the Lakes usually so I would say that it definitely worked for me.

Following my last post about marmite, I've just been reading that it's rich in vit B1, B2, B12 and folic acid so that ties in with the comments about taking vit B and it's also very good for you and vegetarian :)
