bbarnhouse 0 #4 August 19, 2003 Quotethey comin from that damnfool swoop pond! lol. No. The ponds are currently empty as they are being dug a little deeper. It's all the watering of the landing area. Damn if I wasn't awake most of the night even with hydrocortizone. I might as well just have the chicken pox again...UGH! . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #5 August 19, 2003 Don't want to contribute to what I consider a media panic, fueled by corporate greed (i.e. companies that sell insect repellent), but it doesn't hurt to take a little extra precaution, considering some of the little buggers carry West Nile virus. Interestingly, new research shows that catnip oil is even more effective than DEET to keep the little blucksuckers away.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

mouth 0 #7 August 19, 2003 Avon Skin So Soft is good for keeping them off if you can stand the sweet smell of the stuff. The pharmacist can also order a Sting Stick or an Itch Eraser that takes the hurt and itch out. They look like a pen are are very convenient. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #8 August 19, 2003 QuoteAvon Skin So Soft This stuff is actually pretty good, and I found Cutter worked pretty well in Honduras to keep them away. Bets - if you have any Vick's Vapor Rub lying around, it works better than most of the anti-itch creams. And now I'll stop with the home remedies Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Nutz 0 #9 August 19, 2003 Doesn't beer deter misquitoes? Either that or you just don't care anymore. That is my solution anyway, more beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I can put on my insect repellent and fall asleep in the back yard, then wake up to the sounds of purring and the sensation of dozens of scratchy little tongues licking me."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

I kid you not, on a camping trip I was once so drunk I could swear a mosquito fell off me after getting his fill. Then again, for all I know I could have been falling over thinking the mosquito was moving and I was stationary. Damn that was a good trip. I think.

Kolla 0 #16 August 19, 2003 This weekend I'll go and buy you some of that fabulous anti-itch homeopathic stuff I use. It's better than anything else I've ever tried, and I break out in big welts at just the sight of mozzies in the area. Unfortunately it won't do much for this round, but might be helpful next time they get you. And you'll probably need some for nationals in Lake Wales....
