People ask about citronella as well. voice-verified

So citronella is good, but it's very short-acting, about half an hour. voice-verified

So if you've got citronella kind of candles and stuff or burny things, then that's effective. voice-verified

But putting citronella on your skin is not going to last all that long. voice-verified

Because that doesn't do, that doesn't hide what it needs to hide. voice-verified

All it does is just add to your scent. voice-verified

So you're not, what you want to do is confuse the mosquito. voice-verified

But your natural scent and your carbon dioxide and your heat will get through Lynx Africa. voice-verified

It won't get through DEET. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And remember, smell is only a tiny part of what they're looking for. voice-verified

It's your heat and your carbon dioxide, which are your big ones. voice-verified

I run really cold I'm always cold and that means is that why I don't get bitten very often yeah yeah and if you if you ask people you know who exercise on holiday particularly in the evening because we I exercise in the morning I imagine you do so that's different but people who exercise in the evening are more likely to get bitten because they're giving off lots of heat as well so of course voice-verified

I haven't seen any good evidence for these bands that go around your wrist. voice-verified

I've tried them myself thinking, oh, this is good. voice-verified

I need anything. voice-verified

All the help I can get didn't help me. voice-verified

I can't say that's the same for everyone, but it certainly didn't help me. voice-verified

And I would go for the old fashioned evidence based stuff, which is deet. voice-verified

No, even the evidence of kind of blood group O over blood group A and B isn't that strong. voice-verified
