Aussie, I know what you mean...
Soo, what I'd done, was eliminate wearing the 'attracting' colors of Red and Yellow [not to mention Orange] these attract critters to 'do' the fertility things. Then I eliminated all soaps and detergents to the scent 'free' types...it helped a lot. THEN further I 'used' to use Avon's Skin-s-Soft, until they changed their formula 3 years ago from using basic oils to a 'carrot seed extract oil' and I'd gotten hives [all over, big time]...I now try to find the baby oil with the least scent possible to moisten...that or prescription ointments...It IS ONE BUM DEAL! {pure carrot-extract oils are deemed as toxic for some purposes-eeek?}
In the meantime, other than wearing raw garlic ropes, I don't know what we can do? We are just soo attractive? Ideally not only to bugs but to others as well! Gotta think good things here? I certainly want to go round un-bitten and undamaged and with some STYLE! - hugs! - j
