I am getting eaten alive!

[HappyScrappy]

also, another point to it being related to scent - you will have fewer problems if you just got out fo the shower and didn't use perfumed soaps or shampoos.
but if you go for a 10 miles run and then sit around getting smelly, you will get bit a whole whole lot.
speaking form personal experience.

They actually just proved that it's genetic. Some people have a higher likeliness of being bit by insects due to blood type and some kind of gene but I can't think of it right now

find an insect reppellant with a high DEET content!

(memories of the cam stick i used with insect reppelant included, and how when even isued with extra reppelant the midges that bite up north seem to enjoy it even more than blood )

Re: Re: I am getting eaten alive!

uh... do you sleep outside?
How do you get bitten so many times?

No, I don't sleep outside. Kneepads sleeps in the same bed as me and he has never ben bitten. Also, my kiddo never gets bitten either.

Do you use a paticular brand of skin cream or lotion? Aroma is what attracts "critters" in general.

I used to get bitten far more than the other kids when I went to camp as a youngster. I was told it is due to blood type. Insects are attracted to a certain type more. Not sure but I think I am A+ or A

No, I have all the Bath & Body Works stuff but never use it in the summer. I use Aussie shampoo and conditioner and Lever 2000 bar soap.

I even bumped up my garlic intake and I am still getting tagged by these bastards. [fresh garlic] One more on my calf, two more on my elbow and another on my back.
