Yeah :D Well, at least it was done with the best of intentions.

Tell you though, if they do work.........who's for finding the importer and sorting out a group buy ?

cheers,

We just ordered a 10 pack today, hopefully be here tomorrow! Really hope they work as last night while trying to fish on the Loch side, I had to wear a long sleeved thick top, tuck my trousers into my socks, coat my arms with Avon-Skin-So-Soft and wear a old army headover so I looked like a green ninja.. they didn't get me much, only about 30 bites on my arms where they flew up and got uncoated bits lol and flew around my head like a plague of well flesh eating monsters.

So Goatboy.. is this part of your secret public trials for work? :D Get us poor unsuspecting mortals to try it out and report back, giving you more feedback? lol If it is, well done darn clever of you.. :D :D

Here's hoping they do work as I'm thinking about ordering some anti aircraft guns to take care of the wee blighters...

So what is wrong about just taking Thiamine vitamin supplement as tablets. It will be excreted the same way.

you can get them from holland and barret, vitamin B1 I tried this last year but not sure how well it worked, plus i think you need to start takeing them a few days before you go out and i forget to take such things.

I'm fairly lucky in that I don't suffer as much as other from bitting things.....the wife does, I think she probably washes too much! But I deffinately get even less bites when she is with me....LOL

There are however times when even I get "attacked" in heavily insect populated areas and have always found the proprietary lotions and sprays work well, however they don't for the wife, so thanks for the heads up, deffo worth a try, and I fully understadn that what works for some may not work for others......however it is safe for children which is a bonus!

Also, tis good to meat a salesman with honest ethics:)

OK I'm now feeling the pressure!!!
Had a wee chat with Toddy and said that I'd found the UK manufacturer, based in Ayrshire. And that if they seemed to work for others that a group buy might be a good idea.
On the supplement front, as has been said you need to take them for a while before your body has enough before transuding the the excess through your pores and urine ( can change to colour of your pee you know). Dermal patches are being used more medically due to their quick uptake rate, hence the two hour grace period before facing the vampire hoard.
I've deliberately not said which retailer I work for as I'd hate anyone to think I was trying to increase sales ( I even talked to a MOD, Toddy about it as I was worried that it might be construed that way, we don't even sell them yet). We do sell Avon Skin So Soft, but never advertise it as a midge repellent as that would be legally incorrect. It's just there if you want to buy it.
Just wanted to pass on the good results I'd had with it, in the hope that it might be of use to others. I really hope it does, as since leaving forestry I seem to have lost the resistance I'd built up to the blighter's.
I would love to hear from others as to how it works as I've already said to my head office that I'd had good results and they'll be tested by me again this week.
I know some of you are teasing me as to my intentions, but they are honorable.
Cheers
Goatboy.

No pressure mate

The more folk who get to try it the better I reckon, then we'll get to find out how good it really is.

I'll be up for a GB if they work for me this weekend.
