General Comments
Acqua d'Alfresco is my most favourite insect repellent. In fact I just dashed down the Hale Clinic at lunch to buy some before I go away. I used it in Australia last year and only go bitten once (the day I forgot to put it on). Mozzies usually love me and eat me alive so it was great to escape that nuisance.
I use the spray (although they do a moisturiser as well), which I decant into an atomiser so I can carry it around with me.
It has a slightly spicy scent, which has a really sexy element to it and is not out of place on a man as well as a woman. I always get complimented on it whenever I wear it (I even use it as a perfume which I certainly wouldn't do with mozzie-guard!).
In short, yes it is expensive, but it is divine, so I'd rather get it than the nasty chemical repellents from the high street stores.

Stings and insect bites
Insect bites often cause one or more red bumps that are usually itchy and sometimes painful. Often there is a small hole in the middle of the bite, perhaps with the end of the sting sticking out.
