Leukotape - 08/18/10 05:16 PM
I recently used this tape on my wife's heal blister. Worked well and stayed on during her aerobics class.

I rarely get blisters but it occurs to me that this might work as a mosquito barrier in two areas where I sometimes get bites.
Area 1-back of hands. The mosquitoes sometimes get me there when I'm working on something and can't slap them away in time to avoid a bite.
Area 2-Ankles just above my low cut shoes and below my pant leg bottoms. The skeeters will bite through my socks and form a bite necklace around my ankle.
I don't like to use mosquito repellent and perithrin treatment on my socks quickly wears off with multiple stream crossings and sweat.
Has anyone tried using tape as a bug barrier?
