Tobacco smoke is believed to be a good way of keeping the mosquitos at bay in Moreda (A). Rubbing your body with a vinegar lotion is also said to help avoid stings. They use thyme and rosemary vapours to help calm the sting. In Elgoibar (G), when mosquitos sting, they rub the area in ammoniac. In Nabarniz (B), they consider it is good to rub the site of the sting with lemon or garlic. In Bedarona (B), the sites were rubbed with vinegar or a half of potato.
