[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 690342, member: 15804"] I have lived in a mosquito rich area for years but last year I moved to a place where the city/county doesn't spray and the habitat in my neighborhood is just HEAVEN for mosquitoes. It is horrible! and I am a magnet for them and react horribly to their bites. In previous homes I could deal with it by just using DEET and suffer through a few bites. But in this place I was forced to purchase clothing with insect repellent in the fabric. I was hesitant as I am sensitive to chemicals and smells but I was also desperate and didn't want to be held hostage in my home for the next five months. The clothing works great! Zero bites, no smell, no irritation and I don't have to put any type of spray repellent directly on my skin. Although the styles I bought were mesh and supposed to be lightweight they are still pretty warm to wear in the heat and humidity but I am trading being too warm for being miserable for days by being eaten alive with bites. Also, since I bought tops with hoods I do look like like quite the freak when I am out walking my dogs. But that has never bothered me much. ;) [/QUOTE]
