I spent 4 weeks in India (North & South) go and was not stung with this spray once. The only bites I got have taken place without the use of sprays. The spray has passed ca 2.5 weeks for me, but I have also sprayed me properly. The rest of the time I rubbed myself with the 50% lotion. A rash, I did not get well, in addition, the spray is very easy to distribute to handle and easily. The fragrance is almost pleasant, but you should keep your eyes, lips and open violations of the spray away. In addition, you should always make sure to wash your hands immediately after using and make sure that the arms do not come with bottles and the like into contact as for example the bottle label rubs off through the spray. Overall, a highly recommended spray, I also think it's better than the 50% lotion, because this spray was friendly to my skin and was spread more easily.
