I find it amusing that ANYONE would count their bites, U gave me a good laugh,
anywho here's my two cents worth. I've read that a bird, the woodpecker is
extremely resourceful..how, they actually crush a certain ant and then spread
in on their wings during preening to get rid of ticks and mites, the smell
tells the other bugs there enemy is close by, I also heard of ground squirrels
rubbing dead snake skins moltings on their body..why? So when another snake
comes along it will NOT go into that hole thinking there is another snake
already there. Maybe dragonfly juice/bugma you never know. Hope my thinking
will help, and it'll be good for the enviornment and you won't be putting
chemicals on that will bleed into your bloodstream. Good Luck!
