2 hints for insect repellent: the Greek restaurant owner where I have doing my wed nite jams rubs basil leaves on his neck and arms..says mosquitos hate it, and it's common practice in his area of Greece. there is also a lot of internet advice re putting a clothes dryer fabric softener cloth in your pocket to repel insects (not advisable to breathe fumes or rub on skin--therefore the "pocket" proviso)
