Default Forum members come up trumps again.

After taking advice from a previous post about the dreaded Midge,
I was fishing tonight, next to some trees, when i started getting bitten,
Used my Avon Skin So Soft for the first time,
AND IT WORKS, after putting some on behind my ears, i was never bothered,
in fact i could feel them landing, then instantly take off again.

It works against foreign Johnny mozzies as well. Avon skin so soft in the blue bottle.

Why? no one knows!

It doesn't work on every-one. I tried it after reading that the cast of the film Braveheart used it whilst filming in Ireland - it was useless.

One cast member swore that the best thing was to down loads of , the midges where repelled by the smell of it sweated through the pores of his skin.

'Consumer Reports' magazine did a test on bug repellent a couple of years back and this was the lowest rated product.
