  1. That’s a big bummer.

    I got totally nailed by noseeums on Sanibel 30+ years ago. The nasty little bastids. I was pregnant and apparently they liked me but not the rest of the family. Everyone thought I was nutty because they weren’t getting bit. When we were leaving the island, we stopped at a grocery store on the island. In the window of the adjacent store was a t-shirt picturing a cartoon noseeum with huge teeth. Proved my point.
