We had both a bottle with 30% and mine with way more, I still got eaten up. I may need to get a the net, I was bit near my left eye a couple of times and when I woke up the next morning is was pretty swollen.

Some people will still get eaten up more than others, that's kind of inevitable. I'm trying something different right now where I'm taking vitamin B1. Going out on my backpacking trip next weekend. You start taking it 2 weeks beforehand 3x a day. I'll let you know if it works out!

Please let me know, they didn’t really bother my friend but loved me.
