/trv/, I'm allergic to mosquitos, though not severely, and I travel a lot in the third world.

Can you recommend a mosquito net? Most of them seem to be made of polyester, and I'm concerned they'll trap too much heat and moisture at night.

And while we're at it, what anti-mosquito measures do you take?
I usually just wear long pants, long sleeves, and desert boots. I tried sandals, but they went right for my ankles, and socks with sandals would be a sacrilege.

Are you really this dumb? I live in the subtropics and all I wear is fucking polyester shirts.. because they are more comfortable than cotton that just absorbs your sweat and pools up.

If you are that allergic.. good luck.. there is Dungei Fever going around the mosquito... which is deadly.

"Polyester fabric, on the other hand, tends to be either moisture trapping, or moisture wicking, neither of which are ideal for cooling in warm weather. A moisture trapping fabric will hold your sweat against your skin, but will not let the evaporating moisture escape easily. The result is a warm clammy garment that holds in your body heat."

>Insecticide-soaks for your clothes. Do this pre-travel, it lasts 4-5 washes, so depending on how long you are in Mosquitoville, how many clothes you take and how often you launder, it may or may not last out a trip. Available at outdoor stores or travel medicine establishments
>An insecticide-laced mosquito net. Available already treated or treat it yourself
>What the net is made of is not relevant, it is mostly made up of holes. Air molecules, including water evaporate, are smaller than mosquitoes and pass through a net easily.
>Some DEET.

There's a strange correlation between blurting out rude questions and wearing polyester, never could figure that one out. I'd rather not wear that uniform.

As for the allergy, I don't swell up all over, but I feel the bite aching for a week afterwards.
