Deployed Troops Step Up Anti-Malarial Protections

WASHINGTON, April 8, 2004 -- It's peak mosquito season in Iraq, and U.S troops deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom are taking steps to protect themselves against malaria.

I have a question. A popular item people have sent overseas is that Skin So Soft product by Avon which is seemingly effective in preventing mosquito bites. Does anyone have real experience with this or would it be better to find DEET products to send over this summer?

Thanks in advance.
