Well the time is near when we will be off to our first camp at the Newhaven site in Derbyshire with some of the clan from UK Camping. Now is the time to start eating Marmite, i don't intend to get any bites this season..My OH is more fortunate as they don't go for her she says she is to nice to eaten , so the mozzies go for me and get double the amount..

Well i aint no horse, but yes it does really work. Mozzies don't like the sweat that comes out of your pores I believe it's the yeast extract that's in Marmite that does it.

I told a friend about it last year and he smeared it on like sun barrier cream, but they didn't bite him ,they just hovered above his head and laughed lol.

Marmite must be the reason I never get touched by mossies, even when all around me are being bitten to death :)
