Re: Biting Insects
What do you use to fix problem soren wrote: We are doing our seventh year in Florida, and are ready to try Texas or the southwest. One big negative for me, here in Florida, is that I react horribly any time I get more that a few insect bites at a time. Over the last few years I've dealt with at least three events caused by No-see-ums, another couple of chigger attacks, several red ant events, and one year it was some sort of highly toxic tree caterpillar that was ravaging all the local oak trees. One massive oak covered our campsite like a huge umbrella, with these caterpillars dropping on to bare skin. They then left a slime trail, causing a rash and itching for weeks. It was so bad last spring that we returned to a big vet bill, since one of our dogs was infected, and miserable, from hundreds of chigger bites. So my simple question is, what is life like in the other major snowbird locations in the states, when it comes to everything that wants to bite you?732Views0likes0Comments
