    The trick is to keep yourself greasy. The little nasties can't latch
    on then. I don't like to use deet and found that cactus juice worked
    best, as long as I applied it regularly. Once when I forgot my cactus
    juice I got some vegetable oil (unused of course) from a friend who
    worked in the kitchen where I was. It worked. Mind you this was after
    I had been on island for a while. The real test would have been
    trying this my first month, when they were really making my life
    wretched.
    I never did find a way to stop the itch after the fact.
