Rare mysty Posted April 20, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks so much drron29! I don't want to depend on the insects playing by any human rules of dawn or dusk. I think I will err on the side of caution and just protect myself for all eventualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findacruise Posted April 20, 2015 #27 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Forget the dusk till dawn story.Dengue is one of the diseases spread by mosquitoes that are most active from dawn to dusk.Not a disease you want to have.In other places yellow fever,West Nile and chikungunya are transmitted by dawn till dusk mosquitoes. Thanks for the information. I wear it all the time and am just happy if we don't encounter any bugs. Also, be sure to apply sunscreen first and then insect repellant.

Ontariotrekker Posted April 20, 2015 #29 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Remember to spray your ankles even if you wear socks.. sand fleas and other critters like to climb up pant legs. Shar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted April 20, 2015 Author #30 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thank you Ontariotrekker! Something crawling up pant legs is definitely to be avoided! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontariotrekker Posted April 26, 2015 #31 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Mysty - just found out that some CDN Avon reps have a deal for the bug guard repellant if you have not already bought something. I used it for my Amazon & Louisiana trips and no bites & it smells good. Shar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
