I didn't have any mosquito bites on me.
"I just got back from a month in Costa Rica...really impressed by the effectiveness of my Buzz Off Insect Shield clothing...I spent two nights sleeping in a hammock in the jungle.I slept in my Buzz Off Insect Shield clothing and used extra Buzz Off Insect Shield shirts as a pillowcase and sheet. Not only was it an amazing experience, but I didn't have any mosquito bites on me."
