No, I didn't know that. Thanks again and yes, I'll talk to the local
pharmacist! Normally, if I have trouble sleeping (mercifully rare) I take a
tiny bit of some tablets a friend from Canada gave me called (I think)
Dorm-Aid and I go out like a light. Apparently, they were originally
intended for anti-histamine use but were found to be very effective sleeping
tablets that didn't have to be on prescription. Sounds a bit dodgy to have
them otc to me but there we are!
Don't forget to keep a copy of the prescription not everything sold legally in
one country is legal everywhere.
Why can't you use OTS insect repellant containing 50% or more DEET? You don't
have to put it on your body. Putting it on socks, clothes etc. and at night on
the bed headboard or pillow is adequate.
I will, I will! But the anti-histamine is for after the DEET has failed me.
