Bug bite blues

Well, I guess all the bug life saving I’ve been doing at home only gives me a bloodsucker free pass with the local insects. Here, it’s open season on my sweet, high cholesterol blood. They all love me – mosquitoes, biting flies, creepy crawlies, you name it. As long as they’re not poisonous I do all right with the little itches. I can resist the urge to scratch even though I have almost ten bites above my neck. My natural spearmint but repellant doesn’t really help. I recommend chemicals if you really want to shoo the bugs away. Next time I come here, I’m bringing some deet.
