Try some/all of the following
- grow an elephant-like hide
- get someone tastier to observe with you (works for me)
- mix 4 parts baby oil with 1 part dettol and apply liberally. A dash of metho is supposed to help too. Don't apply this if you will be in the sun as you'll burn to a crisp. Wash your hands before touching astro gear. [I was skeptical too but it worked in Broome, Darwin, Cairns and all stops in between.]
