suggested, as you say that Garlic will do the trick, but the garlic pills won't as they are largely not meant to make you smell, and it's the smell that repells them. That blue cheese, preferably very strong smelling, also repells them, and that vitamin B, taken for some weeks before will also do it. Sweat attracts them, and sugar attracts them too. Outside that I don't know. Some very strong deet lotion? They also love me, (I also swell up like a balloon) but I have to say that Bali is not the worst place in the worldfor this. I have been bitten worse at home, where there is a large pond at the bottom of the garden. Hope you find something that helps, if you do, can you tell all of us please
