5.0 out of 5 stars Ultrathon is worth the money!, September 16, 2008

By	Dave Foster (Chesapeake, VA) - See all my reviews

I spent two weeks in the dengue and malaria-carrying mosquito coast of Colombia. A liberal application of Ultrathon immediately following every morning shower and a reapplication in the late afternoon kept me absolutely mosquito-bite free. In the two weeks, I barely went thru a 2oz tube, so it was well worth it. Of course, you have to minimize exposed skin with long sleeves, tucked in pants, etc, which conserves a bit of the precious Ultrathon. Permethrin treated clothing helps too.

5.0 out of 5 stars best ever, August 16, 2007

By	Michelle Flemmings "gardenerdoc" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just spent 10 summer days hiking and geocaching on the Kenai in Alaska and despite CLOUDS of mosquitos and blackflies I literally only had one bite and that was on the back of my hand after washing with soap.There is no way to overstate how good this stuff is

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 hours of protection.., January 17, 2008

By	Science Geek (Cape Cod) - See all my reviews

Two of us first took this on a trip to Yosemite 2 years ago where there are an abundance of large mosquitos. On the first day of camping we didn't wear it as it was at the bottom of my pack and got eaten alive. Second day we pulled it out and had it handy, as soon as we hit a patch of mosquitos we put this on. It does have a strong smell (but not as bad as many out there) and goes on slightly oily - BUT - it works so well we didn't care - as soon as we put it on the mosquitos would not come near and would not swarm all over my face like they were before. And it really does work for 12hrs.

As someone who always gets bitten if there is even one mosquito around I can recommend this - the only issue I see with it is the smell and stickiness - which if your not in the middle of nowhere, may matter to you.
