Lots of mosquitoes around here.  Well, not exactly here, since here is indoors and air-conditioned.  But in the great outdoors, they're widespread.  Of course, the great outdoors around here is not that great - 91 degrees now, with a Real Feel temperature of 102 - so I haven't been hanging out there too much.

I did look into mosquito repellents, though, and decided to get a kinda natural one, based on oil of lemon eucalyptus, which was rated by the FDA and Consumer Reports as actually being effective against mosquitoes.  I got Repel, because it was the only one offered at the nearby Walmart, but there are other brands.

If I can find a reason to spend time outdoors, and if I remember to use it, I'll come back and update this.
