I have an aversion for biting insects. As a diabetic, they seem to swarm
me, crawl up my pant legs, drop on top of me from trees while everyone
else is thankful that I'm drawing them to me like a sweet blood banquet.
I spend a small fortune on "OFF!" and the likes, every summer. Ticks and
chiggers especially like to feast on me. Maybe I need to add curry to my
diet? Ric
