Looking at it makes me itch!

This young Fatu Hiva girl was tortured with mosquito bites. The Marquesas are beautiful islands. The problem is the biting bugs like mosquitoes and biting gnats called noseeums or nonos. You would think evolution would allow the natives to build an immunity. Some in a sense do but others are equally tortured as a European cruiser passing through. Some islands, some coves are worse than others. Doctor Mike (Mike and Sue) on the yacht Infini, says to dab dish washing detergent to the bite. And that is what we now do, after trying absolutely everything else on our boat that can be dabbed, smeared, dripped or sprayed on a bite. However, it cannot be a watered down South American brand of dishwashing soap. The effect will work for 3 to 4 hours.
