Does anyone know where I can buy some Off mosquito repellent? I bought some in Daejeon a few years ago, but I am in Wonju now and can't find it anywhere here. I even looked in the pharmacy where I used to get it in Daejeon and they don't carry it anymore. Anyone know of a place where I can get some?

Thanks in advance

agree- most pharmacies...large marts (like emart, homeplus), sometimes family mart/7-11 type places.

try looking in the beauty/skim care section, near sunscreen, and/or around the msoquiot repellent coils.

if all else fails, tons to be had online:

Any substitute products for Off Skintastic repellent? Its the kind that doesn't smell and you can't even feel that you have it on you.

The best repellent is DEET. DEET is the active ingredient in
OFF but other brands are cheaper. Mom sent me 40% Wal-Mart
brand DEET and a little thing of 100% concentrated DEET that
I will use when backpacking because it weighs little.

Deet is known to cause cancer!!! As an insect repellent, it is meant to be sprayed on clothing and applied outdoors. Is it worth dying a slow miserable death to avoid a few irritating mosquito bites? Then again, you can die a slow miserable death from west nile or malaria.
