Mosiquitos,...

I hate mosquitoes, but they LOVE me...
How bad are they in Central America?

1. Mosquitos Added by: Bob

   In the lowlands they are bad. In the jungle I've found the
   shady spots to be the worst. Also right at sundown(happy
   hour?). A breeze helps. Use repellant that has a high DEET
   content. REI sells 100% DEET..read the warnings and don't use
   it on kids. If you really are bothered more than most
   people..and yep I seen it happen..try adding B vitamins or
   garlic to your diet. May be old wives' tale but many swear by
   it. Mosquito coils are for sale everywhere and do work..not
   sure about breathing that stuff all the time.
