Heading to the Amazon and looking for a suitable spray or lotion to stop mozzies primarily as I'll be in a malaria area.

Can anyone recommend any brands that they have found effective? It will need to be max 100ml as I'm only taking carry on luggage

Thanks :)

Bushmans with 40% DEET. DEET is your friend.

  I'd go 80% DEET for the Amazon. Bushman Heavy Duty lotion 75g. Or Bushman Plus- 75g lotion- 80% DEET with sunscreen.

Repel 100 is 98% DEET. I've never used it.
