It’s a war every time I go up in the mountains. mosquitoes are giants up there... scary. every time I came home from the retreat I would have mosquito bites cuz the cabins already had them in there. my arms would swell up, it would get infected and heat up, and itch like mad.
The best bug repellent I have ever used is garlic. Especially for mosquitos. In the summer I carry a clove of garlic with me to the great outdoors. I just use my thumbnail to make a little cut on the clove and then rub the garlic oil on each arm and on the back of my neck. Bugs stay away. It doesn't take much, I can use the same clove for month or so. Keeping it in my vest pocket probably helps too.
It's also good for keeping pesky people at a distance.
