It's Marmite Time again!

[jono]

I got bitten last year in Turkey by what I assumed were mozzies.When I showed the bites to a Turkish friend he assured me they were in fact mostly flea bites.Mozzies are not just the only ones you can get bitten by but most like I did thought they were mozzies bites.My Turkish friend told me that you will often get bitten by the fleas that the many stray dogs carry.

Marmite does not work!! Although I am a lover of the stuff and have it most mornings on toast I still get bitten.Wont stop me using it though

Works for me George! At least I don't get bitten if I take it  so I'll stick with it I think

I was told that you just put an opened jar of marmite on the table by you to keep the mozzies away.  I didn't know that you had to actually eat the disgusting stuff.  Good job I found out as I'd look a plonker carrying a jar of marmite around with me and putting it on tables in bars, restaurants etc.  

I'd rather be bitten than eat marmite.

I hate marmite too!  But used the green avon stuff that Crabbs recommended whilst we were in Calis - worked a treat!  Trouble is, on leaving our apartment, at 2 in the morning, forgot to put it on - got eaten alive at Dalaman airport!  Be warned!  Julie

Yes the airport can be bad for mossies. Remember - be careful out there!

Yes, I've got some of that green Avon stuff.

As well as being at the airport, the little blighters also seem to get on the plane as I usually get bitten.  Goodness only knows why they would want to go to Manchester when they could stay in Turkey in the sun.

I got bitten so badly at the airport, I've had a swollen foot for two days!  I had been so careful whilst we'd been away too.  Can't believe I didn't put the "stuff" on before we left for the airport (something to do with being out on the razz till minutes before our airport transfer turned up, I think!)
