I have found that skeeters much prefer M'ladys tender flesh to my nasty ol' hide, thus all I have to do is assure that she is exposing enough of her succulent epidermis to feed the hoards ;-> and I am not bothered. Seriously tho, I loathe having chemicals on my skin. I can barely tolerate sunscreen, and will resort to insect repellant only as an absolute last resort. If the little bastards are really bad, I simply cover up. My goretex shell jacket works great, but is sometimes a bit warm. Yesterday, I bagged by first confirmed kill of the season, and so was wondering if anyone on the list could recommend a really good bug jacket or hood. ByeBye!
