In the upper peninsular of Michigan they have these horrid biteing black flies (some call them deer flies) and once we stopped at the side of the road to take a dip in the lake...We had to walk through some tall grass to get to the lake and the flies came after us and their bite is nasty...I asked one of the natives up there how they live with those dang things....******He told me they put vicks vaporub on their forehead and the back of the neck. It worked, the flies left us alone...don't know if it would work with bees or yellow-jackets (these are the worse, bee's sting and die, yellowjackets just keep on stinging...On the farm, cleaning out the old ice house I had a yellowjacket sting me on my forehead, dropped down my shirt, stung me on my stomach and as I jumped around to get rid of it, it fell onto my foot and stung me there also...nasty guys....bee's leave their stinger in you pumping out venom, and they die...
