Insect repellant for very sensitive skin?

Apparently I am delicious Grin 🐝
I've found traditional insect repellants irritate my skin though.
Anyone found anything that works on very sensitive skin?

Me, too! Also have skin allergies that may have been triggered by conventional index repellent. I now use Arnywear. It's brilliant. I simply do not get bitten when I use it. And I do not react to it!

I can very easily come out in a rash with these things but I use jungle formula the highest at number 5...I put a little spray on my wrist and ankles and (touch wood) the little beasts leave me along....just got to watch your clothes with it so a "spay and walk through" is the best bet....hope u get sorted
