I was getting mauled about a month or so back, one night was so bad my wrist looked like I had chicken pocks, people at work were asking me what happened. The last few weeks haven't been so bad for some reason.
There's an OGF thread with a repellent recipe using cloves steeped in alcohol, then mixed with baby oil. I made some and added a little bit of dish soap to keep it mixed, and it works. Much less nasty than deet when sprayed on the face and neck.
All the little towns are about or just recently sprayed for them. It's just crazy how bad they are. I get hit at least 3 times within 5 minutes of walking outside.
