Lemon scented geranium also effective - can be planted and the leaves
rubbed on the skin.
In terms of reducing populations of mosquitos - has the use of ddt or
land management practices drastically reduced the lizards, spiders, frogs
and fish in the area - creatures which help to eat the insects and larvae
- perhaps habitat creation for the predators could at least reduce some
of the numbers.
I also found while working in southern africa that eating Vitamin B1,
cumin, chilli and garlic seemed to help. Again, not a silver bullet
answer.
Deepest sympathy to be extended - this disease causes such ravages and
can feel so hard to control.
Best wishes, Joane Tippett
