too. And mine then became blisters. I was pock marked for not less than a
month! Spend a lot of time sleeping from all the Benadryl. So I was one
motivated individual to find an alternative!

to a very worth while charity on the island. Or let me know closer to the
time of your return.

> During my fist visits to Roatan, I was eaten alive by Sand Flies - my body
reacted strongly to them and I ended up long lasting bumps that turned into
sores and I did get a slight fevor from them. I tried all the products you
have mentioned here. The only thing that worked for me was the products
with a high percentage of DEET. It was awful puting it on due to its
removing nail polish, giving me an awful headache, if I accidently got it on
my lips. I found later in my research on bug repellants that one's body
absords 56% of the DEET. Consequently, I went looking for alternatives,
because I really wanted to live here and I questioned my ability to last
until I developed an ammunity to them. Besides there still are the
mosquitoes and there is no developed ammunity to them.

personal evaluation) as the high concentration DEET product, but is actually
good for your skin and aromatherapy. My Roatan made products uses Essential
Oils as the active ingrediants. I have received a great deal of positive
feedback on it's effectiveness and nice scent. One of our highly respected
Dive Instructors (Liz, now gone to the Maldives) was one of my bigest
promoters and users. Let me know if I can tell you more. Since making my
botanical based bug repellents, I have seen a great deal more positive
result research.

create a short lived physical barrier and you could get the same for Baby
Oil and experience the same physical sensation on your skin.

dive or not. You will find a wealth of information on the island and what it
has to offer on a sister site to this one - > The Roatan site also hosts an archive of e-mails from a Roatan discussion
list. Here there are thousands of entries. It is very easy to navigate and
should answer just about any question you can think of -

> As far as the sand mites or sand flies, there are some. They are quite
bothersome to some and not to others. (I found them to be more annoying
when we were in Ambergris Caye.) If they bother you, you will want to bring
(and use regularly) a good insect repellant, Avon's Skin-So-Soft or Cactus
Juice (a natural repellant and alternative to a DEET product). I have been
to Roatan several different months; most recently in Feb. I was surprised to
be able to sit on the beach and not be affected by a single sandfly. Where
as in the hotter months, such as May or June, my husband found them to be
more plentiful. In my opinion, the President's Day timeframe would be a very
nice time to visit.
