Can anyone recommend an insect repellant for eczma sufferers

[dizzydo]

We are going to Turkey next week and as we are by the river there will be loads of mozzies. Last time my DD (aged 8) got really badly bitten because due to her eczma she could not bear the repellent spray on her skin. She just used to scream because it stung so badly. I really dont want to go through that again.

Can anyone recommend an effective repellant suitable for eczma sufferers please?

Apparently if you take a high dose of Vitamin B it will repel insects, and also eat garlic. When you sweat the odors of these things come out and keep away the mozzies ... so I've heard, not tried it myself!

Agree about eating garlic.

What about a citronella type product on her clothes or hat and maybe a nightlight type citronella candle you could light in the evening when eating etc.

This was mentioned by Soupdragon a few months ago and is supposed to be natural.

Or something like This that you could clip nearby

Thanks albert and furball.
