Mosquitos?

Problem at this time of year?? They tend to love me, do I need protection?

Thanks :)

No risk of malaria, but flies, midges, etc exist. I never go away anywhere without insect repellant. Especially Scotland. ;)

Come to El Jadida! I can count the amount of times I have heard the whine of a mosquito when I'm in bed on the fingers of 2 hands. However, there is something we have here that my expat mate calls the "can't-see-'ems". He suffers from them, I don't.

However, they don't emerge till May, so you'd be safe.

Yes, tent manufacturers have gauze inner tents specifically designed to keep them out, and refer to them as 'no-see-ums'.

Little b*ggers that float gently about, bite you but move before the pain hits, so when you wack the spot they've long gone.

No sightings (or soundings!) of mosquitoes in Marrakech so far. Too cold. They are generally not a problem anyway at any time of the year.
