That looks amazing... but $700?! I think I'd rather just spray some bug repellent on myself for $3 (or however much bug spray is).

Eat a drop of tea tree oil, the oil will make your blood very bitter and your skin will give off a scent that is unpleasant to mosquitos. Or you can eat some raw onions, those are good.
