Lots of bites at the Canal.

You guys actually spray the bug spray on your face?
I did that ONCE and then started spraying it on one hand and applying it like sun-tan lotion. That way you don't end up inhaling the crap and gagging.
I know one bug repellent that makes moist towlettes. They come in handy for applying where you want and it allows you to attach it to the back of you hat for a little added protection as well.

I wish Luds. My fish count would have appreciated it I'll keep an eye out for another man with no face

Skin So Soft by AVON, gents!

worked for 13yrs as an ironworker ALL over Lee and Collier Counties, FL. the no-seeums down there are the state bird and i've been into swarms that would carry off an adult moose!!!

besides making one invisible, it is GOOD for your skin, the environment, and there are no worries around the facial orafices. it is uncomfortable should it sweat into the eyes, but i just wipe it out; then re-apply. easy enuff to apply by spraying it on me mitts and rubbin' it into the exposed skin surfaces and around my E, E, N,& Mouth.

sorry, but there is no numbing pseudo-caine buzz associated with this stuff. only place i've found lge quantities of it are at Kay's. The Edge may have some, or was it Red Top?? AVON's website will work also, i'm sure.

i won't go to the surf without it, works like a CHAMP everytime!!!
