You don’t want to spend your vacation scratching and itching so please bring mosquito repellent of your choice. In addition to mosquitoes, Jamaica also has sand fleas at the beach that are active at sunset, so remember to apply a generous dose to your feet and ankles if you are going to be out at dusk.
