While I personally have rarely ever had an issue with mosquitos, my wife surely DOES as the proverbial Walking Buffet, primarily at night, AND, in bed while sleeping (with that ever-incessantly irritating ‘buzz’ around your ears!)!

But, we have near-eliminated The Issue with a simple morning-n-evening ‘splash’ of pure 100% boiled coconut oil, at least on your legs (AND Ears!). It’s RARELY a problem..... for years now..... and we live on the Pacific coast of MX year-round. Pure coconut oil also serves as a nice post-bite balm that tends to remove any subsequent ‘itching’ from the bites, thus no (eventual) open-sores of BIG Red “Pockadots” on arms-n-legs!!

A fairly ‘clean’ quality used to be sold here in Z by the local "Indian" girls who once cruised the beach, and sold in the classic oooold Salsa Búfalo bottles. I don’t know who sells it locally anymore, as we BYO (by the liter!) from a wonderful ol abuelita in Chila, OAX, north of Puerto Escondido. We’re never without it!

I think that it’s at least worth a try..... as from us, it comes very highly recommended.

And OH, it also gets your skin nice-n-brown on the beach, TOO, and definitely leaves your skin REALLY soft-n-supple after but a short time of regular daily use.
