I am a mosquito magnet. My mom fondly recalls when I was a baby that I often looked like “one big mosquito bite”. Lovely. It is usually just a big nuisance, but right now it is actually somewhat of a fear, because the big news item around the New England and New York area is the deadly viruses the mosquitos are now carrying. I think six people died last summer. Some areas are being sprayed with pesticides, but the rain has delayed much of that. And the rain is great for the skeeters. It is sad to feel so unsafe to be outdoors. Deet products are selling quite well.
