    Yikes. We have places like that around here. Mosquitoes bite me but they don't leave marks. My daughter gets large welts from them.

  • I wouldn't say lots, but we get some. I got several bites when I up to Lake Tahoe last week.

  • Some, but it probably wouldn't qualify as a lot.

  • Deer flies are a good argument against biodiversity.

    I don't get any. I have not been bit by one in decades.  They don't like the taste of me.  Maybe I have too much THC in my blood.

    I would agree, dodging potholes is the favorite Spring Sport, and Road Construction is the second season in Minnesota after Winter

    A fair amount. 
    I get bitten probably more than average because I'm out in the dirt and the sand a lot.  There is a plant that detours them.  I can't remember the name but I think it is in the gernium family and starts with a "c."
    I have two of them.  One inside and one outside.  They really aren't that ugly.  It's a natural way to try and keep the pests away.

    We don't and it might be because we have a lot of bats in the area. Cheers!

    In the Wald we have few to none, now head to the Southern end of the Insel around Dusk or Dawn; you would feel like you are the Main Course for dinner.  Location Vienna, Insel on the Donau (Danube)
