Any Ideas of how to Possibly Prevent Mosquito Bites?

Question:

Every summer it's the same;; I get practically eaten alive by mosquitoes; I've tried just about every bug repellent but I'm always bitten! My feet && calves are extremely bad right now and nothing I try to stop the itching is working!
Any suggestions?

Answers:
Calomine lotion is the best thing for itching, some creams and lotions have calomine lotion in it too which will also help. There is after bite, but if you are covered that might not be best for you.
Prevention: Make sure you use a repellent with deet and make sure you reapply as necessary. Also wearing light clothes helps. My mother personally swore by Skin So Soft by Avon. I also know of several campers and counsellors that use that, apparently the mosquitos don't like the smell. Good luck!!
