Later on this year to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary, my wife and myselfs off to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. Ok I'm bragging but while we're there we're off to the rainforests and mangrove swamps to see the fireflies etc etc so to all you explorers whats the best bite cream to take with us should this happen.We will be fully Deeted up but you never know

Haven't been to the rainforest or such exotic locations but been to tropical shores, I followed a 4 step system & only got bitten twice in 2 weeks, others were practically eaten alive as part of the hotel was over a lake! I used Boots Soltan sun lotion then aftersun, both with insect repellent after my shower morning & night, Jungle Formula Spray on my legs and Mozzie citronella patches (in velcro bands although I couldn't find these), one on my ankle & one on my wrist! I bet I smelled absolutely disgusting to a mosquito!

As for bite treatment, we took Jungle formula spray which was good too:
