the chiggers are the worst - they get under your skin and stay there just itching and itching and itching - gawd it makes me shiver to think of it.

Yeah, nail polish kills them and they just disappear.

Last time I got some, all we had was red nail polish. I looked lovely. Thankfully all the spots were covered by clothing under normal circumstances.

I read somewhere that the Everglades visitor centers and ranger stations aren't even staffed in the summertime because the mosquitos are sooooooo bad no one goes there and there's no need for staff.

It works reallly guuuuud

Off makes a version that repels for a couple of hours even when your sweaty - the concentration is around 20% I think so it's fairly safe - I try not to put too much directly on the skin though.

yeah, spray onto your clothes.

DEET has some nasty chemicals that can cause some sort of damage to your nervous system if you absorb too much. Most commercially available versions are low enough in concentration taht it's pretty safe but most advise to limit direct contact with skin. The stronger the concentration the better it works, but the more "risky" it is long term.

Most also say not to use on really young kids.

Just to let you know DEET does not work on Deer Flies in the Adirondacks. Those buggers treat it like a little seasoning for their meat.
