Tea tree oil is for preventing/treating skin infections and irritations, it's not an insect repellent. According to a Mexico travel website I found, the only thing that repels jejenes is Pennyroyal oil (which of course you can't find in Mexico.) Off/Deet isn't effective against jejenes.

No tea tree oil IS an insect repellent the best there is its just that its really much tooexpensive to be used on a regular basis unles like my baby sister you have a terrible allergy to anything that bites from mosqitos to fleas to ants to those nasty horrible little flies whose english name I dont know.

Not according to several medical websites where its uses were described. Google it.

I'll drink to that. Besides, I probably have immunity after my encounter with jejenes the one time.

Voted 'Best Visitor Attraction' in the 2006 Godiva Awards is the [Stratford Town Walk] and Stratford Town Ghost Walk.

The guides entertain and inform with lots of information that you could never discover from a guide book. A must, if visiting Stratford with a couple of hours to spare. In the evening on Mon, Thurs and Fri there is a spooky ghost walk around the historic streets to hear grisly stories of ghosts, witches, murder and mayhem. Be afraid, very afraid. The guides are professional magicians and members of Equity. Monthly ghost cruises take place in partnership with Bancroft Cruises from April to October. Entertainment with a difference.
Six kilometres away is Charlecote Park, an historic house set in a deer park, from where Shakespeare reputedly poached deer.
Eight miles away is Ragley Hall, one of England's finest stately homes and home to the Jerwood Sculpture Park.
The town had a publicly-funded art gallery, The Gallery, but this was closed in 2004.
The influx of tourists into Stratford has caused tension with residents for decades, and there are perennial complaints about numerous tour buses clogging certain roads in the town.
There are plans to refurbish the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and to build offices and flats on the defunct cattle market next to the railway station.
Each year on or about Michaelmas Day Stratford hosts one of the largest Mop Fairs in the country
ok why not sounds like fun!
