Comments	Last 4 years I have gone annually to Curacao. Lions, Papagago and Hilton hotel. Best diving is at the West end. Habitat has a great dive operation. Excellent shore dives. November was the rainey season, too many mosquitoes. Off insect repellent was of no help. Three days after I returned I developed a skin infection from mosquitoe bites and developed celulitis. Foot and leg swelled to twice its normal size. I spent 6 days on IV antibiotics in the hospital and I am still on antibiotics. I sent an email to Habitat to rethink there man made lagoon which is a breeding ground and to spray more often. At breakfast we used napkins to keep the mosquitoes off our face. Off did not help, need something with deet. I have traveled extensively to Central America and never had any thing like this. Just unluckly, but would suggest to others: 1) Use deet 2) use an alchol wipe for mosquitoe bites, scratching only drives the infection in.
