Addendum to above; When we lived full-time in Turkey, we had many visits from our very good friend (15 visits in 6 years !), I would get quite a few bites, as did my Darling Loz, but Paul NEVER, EVER got bitten once !! The only thing we could put it down to was the fact that Paul used Listerine Mouthwash very liberally, and we did not !! As the little darlings are attracted to their "prey" by carbon Dioxide from our breath, maybe that was the reason. Just saying, like.
