     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.

   I have 3 citronella candles and I am aware of wild herbs that can be
   used to make more.

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

   Sounds similar to mosquitos, am I off base?

     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)

   Some people get so sensitized this even happens in damp buildings and
   stuff.  It seems important to learn how what changes it.
   Honestly I wish I had the freedom to suffer outdoors.

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

   Luckily I have clothes I can rip if I need a mask.

     good luck!  enjoy nature :)

   :P  Thanks.  Hope you're doing something you enjoy.
