Best way to safely prevent mosquito bites?
I’ll be going to India and Nepal for 2 weeks and I’m petrified of mosquitoes (and all the diseases they can infect you with)! I’ve never been to a mosquito-ridden place before, and I’m not sure what I can safely do to prevent mosquitoes from biting me.
I was told to wear DEET and spray all my clothes with permethrin, but I read that DEET can cause neurological damage and peremthrin increases Parkinson’s disease. But "natural" repellents don’t seem to really work. I’m so confused!! What can I do, or do I just take a gamble and go with the lesser of two evils (in this case, going with DEET and permethrin)?
