If you're getting bit on work premises I'd report it to your company because it must be up to them to prevent mosquitos being around food ?
Worth a try as they can only say no |

I've always used coconut oil as a moisturiser.
I never get bitten by mozzies, on holiday 2yrs ago everyone was covered in bites except me.
I just assumed I tasted sour 
But apparently they don't like coconut |

They do round here.
Had one knock last week, felt a bit sorry for her, she's just starting out. But I know there's already a lady who lives a few doors down & been doing it for years |

I get bitten regularly too not helped by living near a lake.
When I get bitten I use the hot spoon treatment, boil water put it in a cup and using a teaspoon heat the spoon in the water then put the spoon on the bite gently, but don’t burn yourself, just dab the hot spoon on the bite(s).
It stops the bites itching xx |

I find something cold like a ice cube works to take the itch away.
For a few hours anyway. |

Well cant help you if you dont have a debit or credit card other than to suggest you search online for an Avon representative to buy some from with cash. |

Being fat game for mosquitos myself, in Jamaica last year I stopped counting at 80 bites. I looked I to it and found out that it could of been my vitamin B12 levels were low. Before going to Cuba this year I started B12 tablets and uses repel wipes and only had 15 bites in 2 weeks. You skin so soft works well in this country and Europe too |

Old-style Indian Tonic Water used to do the job, but the modern stuff doesn't have enough quinine in it to have any effect on mossies, it's all flavouring. What the OP needs is deet. Good strong deet. I think the strongest you can buy in the UK is Jungle Formula which is 50%. You can get a 100% spray overseas, but it's harsh stuff and should only be sprayed onto clothes. I've found that "Natural" remedies, citronella and such, have very limited success. |

You can get 90% deet from Go Outdoors but it stinks |

"Try using a lemon soap too
How dus Lemon soap work ?
Snd
Soap as in shower jell soap
Or
Soap as the hard block soap ?"
Lemon or citronella soap works well, they don't like citrus. If there's a Lush near you they do a hard block soap called Bohemian which works well |

They are attracted to carbon dioxide and lactic acid. One good trick I use when I am back home is to put a slice of limburger cheese out on the decking that keeps them away because the lactic acid draws them in |

Interesting along with getting cramp lactic acid also attracts mozzies etc

This is also the reason heavier people like me get bitten more due to producing more Co2 in the night and children get a lot less bites

"I rarely get bitten that much even when abroad, I don't think they like my O negative blood."
I heard this a lot in Japan. Mosquitoes and such nasties go for certain blood groups. Wonder if there’s any truth in it. They love me... |

Vitamin b12 ... worked for me in the Everglades camping during mosquito season. It takes a couple of weeks to work but I found I was bitten less and the bites did not swell up as much as usual. |

I had a conversation with a gent from Kenya who caught Maleria and he said that it could be eradicated but drug companies would lose too much revenue. Another said that the mosquito and it's parasite had as much right to life as humans..
Made me think |

But have you thought about the possibility that malaria could have been a man made virus introduced to mosquitos in an effort to eradicate them? And a virus like that could have been made in the pharmaceutical industry? |

The parasites that cause Malaria have been around for a little bit longer than the pharmaceutical industry (thousands of years) the mosquitoes just transmit the parasites |

Benadryl Spray - cant get in the UK though only US, i usually buy it off ebay. It wont stop you getting bitten but once you are bitten the spray kills the itching immediately. ive travelled a lot and tried a lot of different things but this ones the best in my opinion |

Also humans are interfering with the eco system and taking away all of the things nature has put into place to keep the population under control. The earth is dying because we are all living longer than we should. Only the strong survive in nature and reproduce to strengthen and improve that breed. We are messing with natural evolution and making the human race weaker as a result. How many people had peanut allergies etc 50 years ago ? |

Lots of good ideas/suggestions I will try next time I'm heading to the sun, thanks.
On the cure side and seeing as OP works in kitchen,I asked a local in Spain what he used to counteract the bites and he said "aceto" - acetic acid or as we would better know it plain old vinegar.
We've made sure to use it ever since and it helps us a lot, but might not work for everyone. |

Avon skin so soft is really good. I travel around the world and it’s worked well. Pity I didn’t have some now as In Antigua and the deet spray we get given at work doesn’t work as well. |

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it's cure for the bites you already got.
Get a flannel or cloth, run the hot tap till it's hit but not scalding. Put the flannel/cloth under the tap to heat it up then put it on the bite while it's hot. You should feel a sharp sting. This is the bite being neutralised. Stops the itching |

Prevent.
1.avon so soft spray
2. Marmite or bovril drinks
3.brewer yeast for minimum 4 wks n continue while in area (+/-) odourless garlic tablets
4. Citronella on pulse points
5. Lavender
6. Burn lavender or citronella I sense when you can.
7. Keep covered. Socks over trousers etc.. Long sleeves...
Post. Tea tree oil pure on bites. Best antiseptic out there

A lot of products that state they repel have no evidence behind them, which is why Its better to ask others what has worked.
Your clothing can help, as can not having many fragrances that draw them. |

After years in Africa and the Canadian Prairie where the mozzies bite through clothing, I would recommend a repellent which contains deet.
I would spray direct onto skin and then over clothes. Be aware that it isn't waterproof so sweat will wash it off.
I have also used the horses' citronella spray; smelled good too, but like all sprays it stung like a bugger if it got in your eyes.

Dont sleep uncovered. I made the mistake once, and got two bites on my cock whilst asleep. I assume it was during a night time erection.
The bites came up as hard lumps. It looked like i had a condom on with a couple of ball bearings in it.
Turkish barbers near me sell lemon cologne. Ive found that works. |

Nice idea though.
