Most camping shops sell mosquito repellents containing Deet, you can
even get it neat and mix it with water yourself which is what I
do...probably the cheapest way. Only thing I found with deet is when
applied to oneself it can feel quite hot for a while which isn't to
comfortable in hot countries like Egypt when trying to get to sleep,
but, a dam sight better than lots of bites. Prolonged use is also not
recommended, not sure what prolonged use is as I've used it for six to
eight weeks with no ill effect except for growing an extra head :)
