Isn't there a little clip on mosquito repellent that you don't have to spray on your body?

Don't forget malaria is pretty common in most parts of the world

I've gone to India MANY times and I have not ever gotten malaria or any disease from a mosquito.

The risk depends on when and where you visit.

Try lemongrass products, works to repel those mozzies.

Lemon grass tea is the best. Plus it's real good for you.

That's sad OP, but India is not full of mosquitoes especially not in the urban and suburban areas... I know because I live there !

Well damn, might be just some ingredient in the repellant, try to find a different brand or see a doctor for your allergies if you can. Also India doesn't have that many mosquitos, I think you watch too many movies.

Actually India does have a lot of mosquitoes but the bites aren't too bad. I guess it depends on how your body reacts to mosquito bites and what part in India you go to.

I am an Indian, living in India and it's not so full of mosquitoes. Anyway, since you are allergic to repellents, try this - there's a new product in the Indian Market "Goodnight Fast Card" . Burn a small strip of it and all the mosquitoes in the room will be dead within minutes. It's available in almost any shop. Finally, welcome to our country. Hope you have a pleasant stay and experience here :)

I have been living in India from last 6 years. It also depends where you visiting.
