'skitters!!

[gnosis]

What the HELL is going w/ them thar mosquitos out there?!?!?

They seem to be getting more toxic, all the time!!

I was out in the bush for the long weekend (Karma! Great party!!!).

As we were packing up Sunday, noon, I was commenting on how I hardly got bit at all, owing to the Naturappel I used.

So, Monday night, after I get home from work, and start to relax, I'm starting to itch like CRAZY!

I try not to scratch, but check out my legs, and start finding about a dozen bites on me.

Ok, now years ago, whenever I got bit, it would only last a few hours, maybe 1.5 days, tops.

All right, now it's Wed night, and these suckers are BRIGHT red dots, and are _still_ itchy!

I know it's not just me, because, over the last few years, I've heard the same comment from other people, more and more.

So, wtf, over?!

TIP:
If you're heading out to the bush/woods, DO _NOT_ eat bananas! Their scent is the strongest insect attracter. The scent comes out of your pores, and you become a buffet for the li'l bastards!

Frosty
(trying not to scratch...)

I've got some Bug Spray I brought back from up North that is 67.7% DEET. It's awesome stuff, a couple daubs on your Shoulder and Hat Brim then you're protected for a long time. It's kinda toxic though... it says not to apply directly to Skin or synthetic Fabrics. heh heh heh
