    Default Problems with gnats/Mosquitos?

    I was just on a gardening board and saw a tread about this - per one commenter:

    "... don't know if you can get it but have you tried Avon Skin So Soft dry body oil? It's supposed to be the best mosquito and midge repellent, and it smells nicer. I use it here and it works on all the biting insects from midges to clegs - at least I don't get bitten and I'm one of those folk who attracts them all. Seems our armed forces noticed their wives were unbitten while abroad so they ditched the standard issue repellent in favour of the Avon product. "

    Apparently it mus be the Skin so Soft dry body oil spray - 'Woodland Fresh' variety. Mind you, the thought of solders all using Avon 'Skin So Soft' rather made me laugh

    Thought I'd mention it as I come up terribly when bitten by anything

    I don't get bitten much now.
    I don't make red blood cells so there is nothing for any insects

    I don't tend to get bitten much either, worth knowning though. Unless of course it was an Avon employee undercover who made the post.
