but it was so greasy (imagine smearing vaseline over your skin in the tropical heat and humidity) that I gave it away and went back to tropical strength RID, which was even less greasy than tropical strength Aeroguard.
I've just been trying to buy the original RID but it has been discontinued and is now only available as a pump spray (which I don't like) so its back to the Aeroguard
It was a shame about the Bushmans as it was a wopping 80% deet (RID is 20%) which would have been good as I where I was staying had a very high risk of malaria, but this would be overkill for Bali.
