TRIED AND TESTED: HOLIDAY HODGEPODGE: "I loved the smell of Mosimix and the fact that there are no harsh chemicals involved in the manufacturing is a definitely plus. I applied it to my ankles after each shower and didn’t get bitten so either it worked really well or there weren’t any mosquitos along the river Rhone. I think the former applies rather than the latter."
