Tonic water seems to keep those pests away. Mosquitoes used to follow me around, until hubby, who drinks gin & tonics recommended I drink the tonic water.

I did not know that. Drinking it or applying it? I will have to try that.

Actually, that makes sense.
The Brits do like their Gin.
Tonic water is seltzer, sometimes with a taste of citrus, with Quinine
Quinine is an extract which combats the mosquito borne disease effects of malaria.
With enough Gin, the mosquito bites don't matter ;
If they bother you, obviously your not drinking enough Gin !!
