Review: Go for it - Travelled to Nigeria and didn't experience mosquito bite
Review: This is the real deal! Buy it IMMEDIATELY - I rarely write reviews, but this product is the real deal. 1. It's a lotion like cream, which makes so much sense when you think about it, so you can get a very even layer everywhere, which is not the case with sprays. 2. It doesn't smell and dries fast 3. It did the job PERFECTLY. No bites despite very mosquito/etc. heavy environments. All around top.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: About how many applications for legs, arms, neck, face do you get from one container?**
A: I use the lotion and it works fabulous. I live in a heavily wooded area with a larger stream running through it in Indiana. I use it generously on my legs, feet arms neck and ears. All bugs stay away with one application. Now if one was working in the humidity or HOT sun and sweating, you prolly have to reapply it. I think this product in the lotion form is amazing, so much, that I bought a huge container of it last summer.

**Q: Is this product effective against mosquitos that have the chikungunya virus?**
A: That is the aegypti mosquito(yellow fever mosquito) and it works for them also..they bite all day so its important to use products no matter what time of day.

**Q: Has anyone used this in the carribbean?**
A: I used this on a 4 day trip to Parque Tayrona and Minca (Colombia) May 2019, I used the lotion formula reapplied 1-2 times a day (if I jumped into water) and it worked great, only had 2-3 bites and that was because I didn’t reapply fast enough. ;)

**Q: Is the pump spray or the regular spray better?**
A: Regular sprays would be easier
