Mosquitos!

Post by Spof » 04 Jun 2010, 09:38

During Berget there will be lots of mosquitos during nights and cloudy days. If you are not used to them you will get small itching dots when bitten but the most important thing is to have some kind of mosquito-protection during your sleep. A small mosquito hat with net or a repellent to put in your face and other visable bodyparts.

Your sleep is important and therefore you should follow this advice if you are not used mosquitos.

You can get theese mosquito protection from most swedish supermarket like COOP or ICA.

I think I have mentioned this subject before else where in the forum.
It is most important to buy a well prooven repellant because some of them are loved by mosquitos.
Maybe the chemist in Solleftea have the right stuff for the region.

Useful Repellent

Post by mmilia » 04 Jun 2010, 12:29

Last Berget i use a DEET based repellent which reveal very good performances: my friend found me hidden in the grass because the black cloud of mosquitos fixed 50 cm over my head. No Bites for me , if i use repellent every 3-4 hours.

If you don´t want to be covered with red dots, you better bring repellant and use it at regular intervalls.
The dots are no problem, they just look funny. It´s the itching that is driving you nuts and if you keep scratching them all the time, you are running the risk of getting an infection.

Because it depends on your blood type and amount of several kind of ferrids in blood. You are lucky! I have tasty type 0 and always used to be eaten by mosquitos.

hey i live in northern finland i know what mosquitos do. The problem here is that they have already bitten me so bad that it doesn't matter if there's couple of mosquitos. And the mosquito bites don't get itchy on me for some reason. :lol:
