Don't provoke members to apply repellent to you.

Good advice, wwh. But I never bite unless bitten.

That makes me a lot less pugnatious than those noseeums of yours.

Just for the record, noseeums are not members of the Tabanidae family.

Gnats of our lineage are far more discriminating than noseeums in choosing our targets.

For instance, we would never target either you or your wife, wwh, your Carpal Tunnel status notwithstanding.

Besides that, what is "repellent" to a noseeum is salivation to a gnat.
