You have great points. I remember when we were in Palenque and my brother broke out his bottle of 100% DEET. We watched it dissolve the skin off of his forehead.
We take garlic capsules, twice a day and it really helps. He tried going off of them last month, and got eaten. They work, at least to some degree.
I'm sure the pennyroyal oil works great. What we are looking for is what to do when in the middle of the night, you get one or three bites-you know, bottom of the foot, those kinds of places. We are hoping that the pen will help.
Plus, like many, we no longer have a way to get things from the US without calling in favors that we'd like to save for "important" things.
