Definietly take some replelent with you. I would also suggest taking some Piriton with you in case you do get bitten. We went in November and had no problems at all, went again 2 weeks ago and on my first night I ended up with 27 bites on one foot. Yes I did count them as I was amazed at how they had just got me in the one spot - hence why I reccomend Piriton as it does help the bites go down. I tend to take the Boots own brand repellent and it does work as long as you remember to unpack it on the first night.

We came back from Egypt yesterday and the mossies were rife. We've been to Egypt 3 times and it's the worst we've ever been biten. I have 6 on one leg, 2 on the other and 1 on my arm. Hubby has quite a few on his legs too! We used after sun with repellent, an actual repellent spray plus a plug -in in the room!

The easiest way to remember is wherever there is water there are mossies, whatever the month, always take puritan at least 2 weeks before departure and continue taking on your hols. Check some makes as some are one tablet a day and some are 4-5 a day, plus there are makes out there that send you drowsy, so if it is one pill a day i recommend taking it before you go to sleep.

Julian they will still be there then so ensure you take your repellents.

Mozzies normally eat me alive, but since using Avon Skin So Soft, I've never had a problem.
