A by-product of the wet weather. Use your repellent. By the way, I have noticed that I am getting chigger bites too. Have never had chiggers here before.

The flea count is high, too.

Many moons ago, I was bitten by a mosquito carrying encephalitis. I was one of the lucky ones that year and lived to tell about it. Anyway, since then, I've done a lot of reading on the subject, trying to educate myself and stay away from the tiny little monsters!

Some of it has to do with your sugar intake. When I reduce my sugar intake, I find fewer mosquito bites. Alcohol, soda pop, sweetened tea - candy - all that stuff. I stay completely away from it for about 24 hours before I know I'm going to any outdoor entertainment - bbq's, baseball games, soccer, etc. It's working for me and it smells a whole lot better than the sprays that are out there!!!

I’m sure that you learned that it's the females that are the blood suckers.

I think it's the females of every species that are.....

several years ago, we read that you shouldn't eat bananas if going outside. It appears the little "boogers" are attracted to this. We tried it and it worked!
