hey Karl,

i am traveling, so this is not signed - but the following advice for bugs:
- citronella candles for general deterrence.
- DEET spray or lotion for personal protection.


regarding allergies, i usually have to wear a mask outdoors now, my allergies have gotten so bad. :/

the good news is that N95 masks work to filter out all airborne allergens. if i don't wear one, a few hours outdoors and i get feverish, start to have trouble breathing (head&chest inflammation)

like your mosquitos, i tune out the mask when focusing on other things.


good luck!  enjoy nature :)
