Orcrone Posted July 24, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I don't ever recall a problem with mosquitoes on a cruise ship. But I would think that if you went on a jungle tour in Jamaica it could be a problem. One word my friend. DEET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter Posted July 24, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2004 If you go to Cozumel and go into the jungles outside San Miguel you will encounter many, many mosquitos. Even at Chankanaab you'll need some repellent. We rented a jeep and drove to the ruins and then did a walking tour and we could actually hear the sound of buzzing mosquitos. It wouldn't hurt to carry along some deet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2004 :) [font=Comic Sans MS][color=blue]Definitely get some repellent that has DEETin it if you intend to go off the beaten track in either Jamaica or Mexico. Along the coast or in the seaports, the mosquitoes are not a problem. Once you get into the interior jungles, not only will you encounter mosquitoes, but there are also black flies and other stinging insects.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#0000ff]We get our DEET from Magellan's.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2004 :) [font=Comic Sans MS][color=blue]Mosquitoes - there was just a report on our local TV stations a few days ago about them. The report said that you should just flick them off you - don't smash them on you. They showed a man who had an infected finger and was in the hospital. Mosquitoes carry more germs than the maleria protozoans.[/color][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefajax Posted July 24, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Word of warning...once you visit Costa Maya and the interior on Cozumel, the RED CROSS will NOT allow you to donate blood for 1 year due to malaria threat.....Bring the DEET...Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
