Bug Spray

[gumballz]

We'll be in Nassau & Coco Cay the first week in April. What kind of bugs do we need to watch out for? I want to bring the right insect repellent. :)

Thanks!

Generally speaking, it's no seeums that you are worried about. They usually come out when there's no breeze and in the underbrush or amoung the fallen pine needles and palm fronds.

For those who are sensitive, I recommend Skin so soft on the beach, but if you are wandering thru the pathways on private islands or thru the brush, I recommend a stronger deet product. (I carry a small palm size deet (off) with me, just in case.

Some people are sensitive (me) some are not (SO), we can be in the same place at the same time and I'll be bitten to raw meat and he'll be fine.

 

Make sure your ankles and shins are covered with skin so soft, and bring along benydrl or a sting stick.

Will the Skin So Soft take care of the little sand flies (or fleas.....whatever they are) also?

Thanks!
