good midge repellant?

Question

going on a charity walk through northern highlands and need a good midge repellant. what works?

Answer 1

try a product called SHOO which was developed for troops during the war and is sold around the Dunoon area which just happens to be in the Argyll Forest Area which is where most of the dammed wee blighters hang out as far as I am concerned

Answer 2

Any insect repellent will do, but the cream ones are better than sprays as not only do they hate the smell, but it's harder to pierce skin with a cream on it. And for a couple of days before you go, eat marmite! Sounds daft, but it'll make your skin excrete an odour they hate. If you're one of the anti-marmite brigade, a vitamin b complex pill will do the same thing.
