Mozzie Bands - do they work?

[Paul (SA)]

I saw these on Scoopon this morning....does anybody know if they are any good?

We use the mozzie patches and they work

We put the rubber ones (available at most chemists is Sydney) on our kids and it does work for them.

We can always tell when they forgot to put them on......

We also re-use them, by putting them in a zip lock bag after use. They last a while that way.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

We use them all the time for my youngster who is a Lizzie magnet. They worn well.

I am not sure about the ones you mentioned but the ones from the chemist or camping stores are worth it.

Hi Paul my post above should read mozzie magnet. Ruddy autocorrect.

Haven't tried em, but the mossies work their hunger off on me daily
.....

If they're that good, I'll invest in them.

Ho2 many do you have t9wwe for them to be effective?  Couldn't imagine if on your west they would offer protection to your ankles?

Yes we have used them and found them to work ...BUT - I put one on my ankle to stop the little buggers down there and after 24 hours being tight on me it burnt my skin leaving a scar so there must be some nasty chemicals in them BUT it was on tight and not allowing an air gap.
