    I use Deep Woods Off as a preventative - when I'm doing yard work. Avon Skin-so-soft doesn't do diddly for me. Brazen little vampires bite anyway. And in my fanny pack I have a small bottle of straight DEET - for emergencies or when I'm out in the marshes.

    As for once I get bit - Blue Star ointment. It's camphor in petro-jelly. Works on fireants or chigger bites too. The only thing that takes the sting away. If I can just keep from clawing myself for few minutes it takes to really start working.
