They will be battering against your windows for the month of June then mysteriously disappear. http://insectphotos.net/orders/coleo...4_june_bug.jpg Now i know why so many wear caps! I went out in the garden with the girls, i have pretty thick hair & it was hot so i thought ok, bunches will do for the garden. The little buggers got me at the front of my parting & down the back of it!? Now i look like a dandruff head, dark hair thick white cream, plus benadryl tablets off course to stop them looking like wasp bits. Quite a few locals have smiled as they put no creams on & rarely get bitten? NovaGirl |
Re: Beauty and the Beast
I attract and react badly to most bugs that bite and sting. I bought Bite Shield from Costco about 5 years ago...it works for me...even wasps don't bother me so much. I can't find my old one and can't find anywhere that sells them so I've ordered one from here:

http://www.lentek.com/bite-shields.html Thanks Jerseygirl, i have loads of sprays, creams, etc i think one that helps if i can remember is " Deep Woods " i hope i have the name right, possibly get an hour or two, but i have to take tablets to stop them getting out of control. Once i run out i might try Bite Sheild. NovaGirl |

The thing which worries me about most of those products is that they melt plastic. :eek: So what the hell are they doing to your skin/body? :blink:
Me too, i read some where to be careful putting too much deet onto your skin, but that is the product in " Deep Woods " which works pretty well up to a point? I am hoping in time i am like the locals, not really affected :rofl: NovaGirl |
