Lions and Tigers and Bears and

MOSQUITOS.


Okay, no lions, tigers or bears, but we encountered mosquitos that were, I KID YOU NOT, the size of a hummingbird. Ask any of my readers from East Texas. It is TRUE.

My in-laws have a small pond on their property, but with the drought they've had, it has been dry for some time. So, there are trees and all sorts of stuff growing in it. Well, until the hurricane hit and dropped all that rain on them. Now, there's water in the pond, but the plants are still there, making the most EXCELLENT mosquito breeding-ground ever.

It doesn't matter what kind of pesticide you douse your body in, those babies are coming after YOU. That being said, though, Scott has a small pearl of wisdom that he swears by in the battle of the skeeters...B(1) vitamin.

Apparently, if you take a B(1) vitamin, your "scent" that you emit from it is a deterrant for mosquitos! Of course, that means you have to sweat profusely, and I do not do sweat very well.

Those mosquitos were enough to bring on nightmares. We're talking horror-film mosquitos, folks!

I personally bathe in Off! just to be safe.
