As in the title, mosquitos LOVE me. Bug spray doesn't even seem to help, so I rarely go outside during the summer, especially at night. Now my company wants to send me to India for a week. If not for the mosquito situation I'd like that, but this might keep me from doing any sightseeing whatsoever, which would be a bummer. I know there are medications I can take for malaria, but not other stuff like dengue, and I would bet $1,000 that I'm going to get bit at least once in that week, probably multiple times.
I'd be in Mumbai for training (indoors work) but they're supposed to take me on a tour and I'm also considering extending my trip by a day or two to do more sightseeing. I know I'd like to check out the Elephanta Caves, not sure what else. What can I realistically expect for someone like me, who mosquitos love?
EDIT: I just found out Insect Shield charges about $10/item to treat clothes you send in to them. That's definitely affordable for me. I'll call them tomorrow to ask about lead times. If they can get them back to me before I go I'll hit Goodwill tomorrow, get 2 pairs of jeans and 3 pairs of long sleeve shirts to wear under my work shirts, send those in with some long socks. Then I'll have to deal with insect repellent on my hands and face and sweating my ass off in long shirts & pants, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
