Hmmm, you'd think the little darlings would be dying out with temps at night in the 50s. Persistant little creatures, aren't they? My guess is you smell better. Do you wear a floral perfume? That could draw them to you. _________________

You may need to try a traditional bug repellant since the toxic nicotine can't scare the little pests off any more. Get some hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching! _________________

Pretty bad when a bug is smarter than we were. Actually bugs don't like smoke. When camping you always sit near a smoker it keeps them away. _________________

Heck, don't worry about the bugs! Everyone else will like you more too. When you see how stinky and horrible the smell of smoke becomes to you now that you are quit, you'll wonder how you ever stood it before...or anyone else. I now have sympathy for those "non smokers" that I used to think were just cranks! _________________

"Cutter's Pleasant Protection Insect Repellent" will smell good to you, but not to the bugs, and will not irritate your skin. However, if they are very persistent, you will have to go to something stronger with "deet" in it.
We Non-Smokers are really pretty yummy tasting! On the plus side, human males will think so, too! _________________

Deb, I got a laugh too.
The bugs outside would bite me even when I still smoked. I think because of my Secret has a perfume smell. A thought came to mind but I'll zip it.
