Take garlic, yeast & b-vitamins. Or you can get all 3 in a wafer (made for dogs & cats). It helps repel fleas on animals but bugs of all sorts don't like it and it's quite safe for human consumption.
Externally, use an oil spray made by Burt's Bees. It contains essential oils that bugs don't like. Or you can make your own. In four ounces of water, add 1 tablespoon rubbing alcohol or grain alcohol, 10 drops of pure essential oil of citronella, 5 drops of lavender essential oil. Spray on clothing & hair only. If you substitute rosemary or peppermint for the citronella, it doesn't work quite as well but you can spray on your skin.
All bugs are less likely to bite oily skin, so rub in some olive oil before going out. Wear light colors & spray with the repellent.

National Geographic photographers and journalist take at least 3 garlic pill, 3 hot pepper pills for a week before they go to mosquito ridden countries, and also every day while there.
I personally would add 3 neem bark capsules and 3 turmeric capsules. It sounds like a lot of stuff, but it beats catching any of the mosquito born illnesses.

Try Vicks Vapor rub on pulse points to repel mosquitos. It also helps with itching if you've already been bitten.
Vitamin B-1 is suppose to work as well. Too cold for bugs here now.
Don't bother with the Bounce fabric sheet rubbed on you or put through a belt loop. I tried that one and got eaten alive lol.
Check out the link for other natural repellants.
