Too much DEET makes me feel like Rod Carew in that All-Star game when he swallowed his chewing tobacco. I try to hit the hat and shirt with the bug spray and a little on the back of the neck. Based on this thread - picked up some Cutter Advanced and will try it out. Should have bought a mask and snorkel with all the rain currently coming down. The no-see-ums were out the other night on the Merrimack - hope this stuff works for them too.
