learned from playing in the mosquitoe infested swamps of the canadian
shield... wear light clothing, lycra a no-no, get baggies. nothing works as
well as deet (+20%), spray some on your hands and rub on the back of your
neck ears etc, spray clothing (lasts longer that way)...

Lycra and baggies are both made out of nylon.

polyester baggies actually, quite tough... (thongs are made out of fur)

Wow.
Here in the arid high desert and high alpine areas of Western Colorado I've
had that many on one arm on several occasions.

Mosquitoes here have a pretty short season, but flood irrigation for hay
(ranching) really helps them reproduce. For their short lives they are
particularly aggressive and high in numbers in some areas. It's pretty rough
if you have to hike-a-bike or do a trail repair in such an area, no matter
how much repellant you have on. Bastards!

Yes it will eat nylon sometimes... What are you trying to protect? That make
natural alternatives (Burt's Bees has one) and/or you could buy citronella
oil and mix it with your favorite lotion.
