Haiku

Ultrathon

Smells bad and stings face
Weapon against mosquitoes
Each day and each night

Deet stops most of bites
Forgot it today, it shows
Let's hope no dengue

Linds,

Great blog. In terms of your Haiku...if you eat one fresh clove of garlic just before sunset (i.e. when the mossies come out) you will not get any bites. There is some toxin in fresh garlic that they don't like...humans don't think it is the best smell either (I don't mind it so long as you shower in the AM and don't shvitz all over the place) and it is certainly better than DEET. Try it. Have fun. Jonny
