#Mosquito control experiment status: #eucalyptus #lemon oil #repellent works, and doesn't melt plastic like #DEET -- however, need to change clothing between inside and outside, otherwise you fill up any small enclosed spaces with eucalpytus lemon oil and you start choking on the fumes. Yes, my pants were rapidly deployed outside (I put on other pants, don't worry).

6 ways to naturally relieve #mosquito bites

“Various research teams have predicted massive growth in #tick and #mosquito populations in the decades ahead, with one Canadian study suggesting there could also be a #WestNileVirus infection rate roughly 18 times higher by 2050 as mosquito ranges expand.”

Tens of millions of #Americans are absolutely convinced the the multiple prosecutions of #Trump et al. are politically motivated, with no basis in actual crimes, and should be thrown out immediately on that basis. Many of them affect to believe that any #prosecution of a former #President should be off the table, because it’s “bad for #democracy” or “like something out of a third-world country” or some other content-free criticism. Most would of course cheerfully see #Biden thrown in prison for no provable #crime—but we know expecting consistency from them is a mug’s game.

Anyway. These people are enemies of the #United #States of #America. We owe their opinions no more consideration than we do the viewpoint of a #malaria-infected #mosquito.

Ithan Creek, PA

I needed to get out, so I did 😊

I spent a lot of time trying to take nice pictures while mosquitoes were hitting on me, although they did not bite thanks to DEET and permethrin-treated shirt 😀 Much better on the water, but on the trail, I basically needed to jog 😅

This creek runs along I-476, but once I am on the water, the freeway noises disappear, and all I can feel is a beautiful creek in the wood😊

"...four active ingredients are scientifically proven to work on mosquitoes.
...if a mosquito repellent includes one of these active ingredients then it should prove effective as long as it is applied "like a sun cream" to all exposed skin."

Unnamed tributary of Darby Creek, PA

Mosquitos disappeared when I entered this cold tributary 😊

The water temperature was 3˚C (~6˚F) lower than that at its mouth (Darby Creek), where I was surrounded by many mosquitos even with DEET 😉

While it makes sense, it is a bit strange and very refreshing with cold water – I was wearing sandals 😊

Fallfish and Sunfish are active in Darby Creek, and Creek Cubs were found here.
