Guest guest Posted May 14, 2000 Report Share Posted May 14, 2000 Hi Bev This begs the question - where or what is Vanuatu?? Sorry to be so ignorant! But obviously it's somewhere nice to go. Mozzies hate citronella, lemongrass, eucalyptus (esp. eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon-scented one), so you could make a blend of these. Also put neat citronella drops on your socks. Wear long sleeves and pants in light colours. You could take a light-bulb ring too, or a citronella-scented candle for your room. When I went travelling in such places, I found a natural-ingredient insect repellent at my local outdoor shop. Have a good time.

Can you tell me what it is! I hope it is not something that I will be so embarrassed over that I will wonder why I ask but I cannot stand this curiosity any longer! Thanks, Dianna Pierce/Phoeniz AZ.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 " Mozzies " is an Australian term for mosquitoes. By the way, I encountered some of the biggest and most hungry little buggers on my visit to Queensland, at Christmas time, a few years ago. Our friends there are still giggling at my reaction to their " Mozzies " !!!!! No need to be embarrassed. I had to learn the hard way too. :) Next time I'm in dear old " Down Under " I plan to have my Eucalyptus (globulus), Lemongrass and Citronella. I plan to make up tons in advance!!!!! Ciao!
