Reapply repellent at dusk even if you skipped it at noon. Light long sleeves for the evening kerb beat another fever story.

Sleep under a fan with screens closed if the room has them. Day heat is one thing; dawn and dusk bites are another.

Do not obsess over the national number - obsess over ankles and elbows at golden hour. That is where visitors get careless.
