  Yes it worked for me Grex. I don't know how effective it would be in a real jungle. I wore it during a lake and forest trip last weekend. And also the mosquitoes tend to come into my room every evening when the weather is like this and no bites so far.

  Becareful guys for these sprays to be of any use they need to have at least 50% Deet according to malaria leaflet I was given by my doctor last week.

  Do you get mosquitoes in the UK? Silly question probably, but I don't remember seeing any...

  I don't see that on the NHS website? perhaps you can scan the leaflet. It might help someone.
  
  Just got this info but no mention of the exact percentage that we should use in UK

  DEET is often sold and used in concentrations up to 100%. Consumer Reports found a direct correlation between DEET concentration and hours of protection against insect bites. 100% DEET was found to offer up to 12 hours of protection while several lower concentration DEET formulations (20%-34%) offered 3-6 hours of protection. Other research has corroborated the effectiveness of DEET. The Center for Disease Control recommends 30-50% DEET to prevent the spread of pathogens carried by insects.
  
  think this clears up any confusion:thumbsup:

  No scanner but the leaflet has this website advertised on it .. look at the 2nd paragraph mentions 'should ideally contain up to 50% Deet'. By the way this is the amount for travelling abroad to malaria hotspots.
