Side story regarding your caution of lotions etc: My wife and I were just in Mexico and while it was lovely there, the mosquitos were pretty bad. Most nights we ate dinner outside and at the restaurants, they have bug spray available for the guests. My wife, is very much in line with your thinking and she refused to use the spray. She must have 20-40 mosquito bites on her legs. Me? none.

I suppose we'll never know who faired better in the long run, but I'm not questioning my decision to use the spray.

I think you two would get along well :)
