Mossie repellant ~

hellsbellsbaby · Sep 5th, 2009, 22:15

I've seen on other threads it mentions mosquito repellent can be bought easily in India , what I'd like to know is how easy ?

I'm going to be in Juhu beach for the first couple of nights and it would be great if I can just pop into a grocery shop and find what I need .

Also what kind of price are we looking at....

again thank you all .

Very easy. The common brand is Odomos and I think it's about 30 -40/-. I can't check as I don't have a box handy with the price on.

Two things that might be helpful are it is a fairly low concentration so needs re applying every 4 - 5 hours.
Also don't keep it in your washbag. It looks just like a tube of toothpaste and come that power cut!!

Maybe not a grocery shop, but they might.

Definately a medicals shop or a supermarket.

That easy.
