@jacobpeacock: They do not seem that bad there (says a laughing previous swamp dweller) but eating garlic sure goes a long way! It may make you more appealing to the bears though!

@freturnov: End's up that the real threat was not the bear but the mosquitos :p Jokes asside, When you see the research done on geneticaly modified mosquitos designed to spread given disease, you don't want to try your luck…
@revisesociology: Maximum marks for persistence, you've got way more tolerance than me. I remember back in the mid 90s I'd booked a through pass for Yosemite Park I think it was, was gonna just hike through it over 5 days end of day one mosquitos, which I hadn't planned for I ended up sweating in full rain gear and tenting early, then had to get rid of more than 100 which got in with me. Next day I just found the nearest road and hitched to somewhere Mossie free! I just can't stand them!
@sapphirekay: Sounds just like the ones that I get regularly visits from here at home. I basically use insecticides and what we call "mosquito coil" which I burn and it releases a fume with an awkward smell. This drives them away but doesn't necessarily kills them. Also, I use a mosquito net over my bed or O use my favourite method, slapping them together to kill them 😄😄 Thanks for sharing.
