My wife used Skin So Soft two weeks ago in Panama. We were on the Caribbean side at Portobelo and Bocas Del Toro. The chitras were around but I wouldn't call them bad(you could count on 6-10 bites a day if there was no breeze). S-O-S seemed to work the best of several remedies she brought along. Trouble is it's messy. It leaves grease marks on everything, at least temporarily. I don't suppose baby oil is any different.

Pick your poison I guess!

Any hints on treating the bites once they get you?
