My goodness. I hope you are all right now! Did the Mexican treatment work?

I'd be interested in knnowing more about it. There was a big fuss around here about 16 years ago about Lyme disease. At that time the doctors said that it was pretty much incurable. A lot of people I know thought they had it, but it was hard to prove. Since then, I've not heard much about it.

I was raised near a lot of mosquitos and I downright hate them. I would honestly trade my own life in exchange for a mosquito specific Worldwide Elimination of the MoFo’s. Cross my heart and hope to die stick a needle in my eye - that is the seriousness of the total and utter disregard for mosquito’s and as I have recently discovered (the hard way) SandGnats. I killed those things all night long and I didn’t have very many. Flypaper caught 30 and I swatted about 20 while the few remaining I misted the air and corners of the apartment with Raid Fresh Scent Fly Spray. I have absolutely no respect for the lives of biting gnats and also mosquitos. Cockroaches are welcome guests compared to these flying trash life/death. Amen.

I became extremely allergic to DEET after an overdose a few years ago. I found a net shirt called Bug Out at a hunting and fishing show and it keeps mosquitoes off me. There is a hood that will go completely over your face if you need it. It also comes with pants.

the solution to the no see-um is well known and very effective

the Avon product called Skin So Soft is totally effective repelling no-see-ums
