We try to cover as much skin as possible. When its hot , a long sleeved cotton rugby shirt works well. that still leaves your hands and you head.

I like some stuff called deep Woods off. Comes in a green can instead of the normal orange Off can. The best stuff was a Cutters that came as a stick , like a deodorant stick. you rubbed it on so it was good for the face without getting it in your mouth and eyes.

When its a little cooler , i wear a hooded sweatshirt. that protects my head except for the face. i apply the bug repellant to the rim of the hood , all the way around. that seems to keep the skeeters from going near my face.

Its not good to be "Loosing a pint of blood" to mosquitos. they carry lots of disease so there's more than the annoying itch to worry about.
