I never saw the original post, but oh man, Ingrid, part of me is laughing,
the rest is dreading the black flies, ticks and mosquitoes. At least I don't
puff up from the black flies like my sister does.
So, I've added another errand to the list - replenish the supply of insect
repellent for the kids!

I understand black flies, lived in Canada 170 miles north of TO. we dont have
those
here so time to move to where there are no black flies with that kind of
allergy.
here in Milwaukee we barely got mosquitoes. but I visit a friend SW of here,
she got
TICKS. I cant stand TICKS and when I lived in Minn in 1980's and went
morelling I
realized this was also prime TICK season. so I sewed a TICK suit out of
nylon. I
still have it, still use it. I also carry duct tape around in case I dont
have the
suit .. just tape the pants shut at the bottom, tape the top and bottom, tape
at the
arms. a chunk of duct tape sticky side out on the hat to catch the deer
flies. ....

mostly I just stay in Milwaukee where I dont have to cope with those things.
