Anti perspirant and mosquito repellent for tropical climate?

[ambuletz]

Flying out tomorow. weather is hot (25'c and upwards), humid, and has mosquitos that i really hate.

Can anyone offer suggestions for a good anti-perspirant and for a mosquito repelllent?

it has to be something i can buy off the shelves tomorrow (sunday). So somewhere like superdrugs or Boots.

Stuff with Deet in like Jungle formula should be able to get that from Boots. It only works where you've covered yourself though so no sticking it on your arms and expecting it to deter them from everywhere. Don't get it on anything plastic as it can melt it no saying how good it is for your body.

As for antiperspirant what ever you use here should work. I've never found I need to up the strength when I go someplace tropical.

Buy it local where you are going. They sell what works.

Stuff it boots and Superdrug is rubbish.

Look for 50 or 100 % deet in trail shops.

Best advise is to cover up in area likely to have mosquitoes.

Avon skin so soft works against mosquitos. Less chemically than deer too if you are using it every day.

The Avon stuff is awful - oily as hell on your skin.
