Same way with my son. We both can be outside, and he will be complaining about getting attacked while they hardly bother me at all. I still hate them though.

Yeah they always seem to go after me first. I was reading something the other day about what attracts them...

- sweat (specifically, the ammonia in it)
- perfumes or other scents
- high contrast clothing

They're attrackted to certain color clothing, can't remember if it's light colored or dark but I remember reading it somewhere. The same article said people with more acidic skin attracks them also.

Man my spelling sucks today, had to think when i was signing my name earlier!

I guess since finals are done I can relax about my spelling for a while. Those dang professor wanted us to not only know the name of all those bones and muscles but they wanted us to spell them correctly also . Go figure.

Thats what I say! Heck the doctors should be able to make an educated guess at what bone i'm trying to spell. I mean you could figure out which bones i was talking about if you saw the words tibalur and fibuliar, right???

Sorry for high jacking the thread.

I put some cheese next to my bug light outside to see how many it attracts. In a few days I'll try a dirty sock.
