Any one got any tips?
We are going to Menorca soon and want to be prepared to the mossies and jelly fish. Has anyone got any good tips on remeidies if we get bitten?
for mozzie bites you dont want to scratch them.. you can get a pen that helps to stop them itching... but you need it with you at all times..
Loads of information about mossies can be found on the link below
I have read about a thing called aspivenin, available from boots £14.49 each or on offer at 3 for 2 at mo.
Were talkinh wee if you hadn't guessed
Jellyfish Sting Treatment
Rinse with seawater. Avoid fresh water because it will increase pain. Do not rub the wound or apply ice to it.
For classic box jellyfish stings, apply topical acetic acid (vinegar) or isopropyl alcohol.
The site i found this on goes into more detail but i think a lot of it applies to more tropical destinations

I used it in Egypt last month - I have a fear of jellyfish after getting stung as a child.

usually the jelly fish in menorca come in just before a storm, so watch the weather after there have been sightings!
