One way to protect oneself is to use non-toxic mosquito repellent wristbands. There is a product out there that is completely non-toxic and uses and all-natural ingredient called Geraniol. You can get the wristbands or other mosquito control products from http://www.PestControl-Store.com. I typically use the wristbands on my little ones when we vacation to the Carribean.

Pennyroyal is supposed to be the best home made remedy. Mosquitoes are attracted to anything with alcohol in it (and if you drink alcohol as well). Zyrtec taken before being bitten is also supposed to be the best antihistamine, even beyond benedryl. Temporary relief for me comes with bathing in epsom salts and then adding calmine lotion before bed so I don't scratch in my sleep.

We are trying non-DEET products (Avon's Skin So soft, and a Bullfrog brand sunscreen-repellent combo). My own research as well suggests that DEET is not worth the risk unless anaphylactic shock is a possibility. We are trying a cortisone cream on the bite and Bebedryl orally. ALso elevation and cold compresses, if you can get a toddler to agree! I just spoke with two pharmacists and a nurse, both of whom say that DEET is not safe for children 2 and under.
