Now it may have all been in my mind, but my neighbor who drank Millers was always covered with the beasties while they avoided me. (I should think about that). Seriously, avoid wearing blue colors. Observations made of Jersey skeeters seem to point out that they are attracted to blue, at least in Jersey. To make a cheap repelent, mix 3 parts water with 1 part Avon Skin-so-soft. I hear it works just as well as the higher priced stuff and does not leave you smmelling like the floor of a garage. T. C. Wheeler
