Hi all,
Just to let you know the tropics has more than white sand beaches and blue water waiting for you when you travel. There’s also the tiny biting flies that can hardly be seen yet create much misery among cruisers. We’ve tried all types of sprays and home remedies without one single sure cure. The list includes many Deet varieties, UV combinations, and oils with coconut oil being the latest one we’re trying. Once bitten, there aren’t too many effective ways to reduce the itch. I’ve tried Benadryl and Claritan which slightly makes the itch tolerable. Any thoughts other than full body armor?
