RE: Vermilion Bay area Skeeters?
Skeeters can be a major pain, depending on weather & how much they like you. I & my group started (4 years ago) to take one 250-300mg. tablet of vitamin B1 a day, at least 10 days before the trip & every day there. Lots of people think it's bunk, but 4 years have proved it to us. Others at camp are swattin' & swearing & our group look at each other & say "guess this stuff DO work!"
100 tablets cost $3 or $4 at Wal-Mart. Cheap! You may want to check with your doctor, to make sure it will do you no harm, & take some 100% deet, bug net for your head & maybe some light gloves just to be safe. I take mine all summer now & bites are few & far apart.
50 days & counting!
Wishin' I was fishin'
