----- Original Message ----- Everything I've heard says they don't work. DEET is the only tried and true mosquito repellant, though I read somewhere that there might be a new repellant under development that is almost as good. Sorry, I can't remember the name of the chemical, but I think a search on Google might produce several good hits.

The CDC recoomends that repellent containing DEET be applied to all exposed skin areas.
