Dear grapho: You remind me of a weekend my wife and I camped out close to Moosehead Lake. On the bulletin board
of the first campsite we stopped at was a message that the
blackflies were gone. But when my wife went "to admire Nature" I heard her scream. Noseeums by the millions,
hitting below the belt. We had forgotten to bring insect
repellent. We drove almost forty miles before we found a
small store open late where we could get repellent. Those
damned noseeums are so tiny they can fly in formation through mosquito netting. Don't provoke members to apply
repellent to you.
