Ow! Ow! Ow!...

I am sick and tired of being bitten by these little guys, whatever the heck they are, and they're EVERYWHERE....


On our recent trip, bug propellant was highly recommended, and not giving blood for a year after you visit Belize or Guatemala. I brought a container of bug wipes, but it ATE MY NAIL POLISH! So, I refuse to put that stuff ever again on my skin, that can't be good. I just bought an Off! fan you wear outside, but it does nothing to repel these little buggars. I've never been a meal for bugs, but something different this year has made me a feast for these guys. They sting, they hurt, but they don't leave any kind of mark(at least on me). Bones, K-Bug, and Ick, all look like they've walked through a swarm of mosquitoes when they come in from outside. These guys are not isolated to our property either. I picked up A at the high school yesterday and rolled down my windows to let some fresh air in, I was wearing white so it was pretty obvious how fast they found me. Everything is in bloom, and they must be some sort of gnat, I'm assuming. But, how do I keep them from biting me?! Argh. I tried to lay out for a few minutes today, keep my souvenir tan from the Caribbean from fading, and that fan did nothing. Do I really want to lay out in the sun with bug spray on? I'm thinking that can't be good either.
