I think its something everyone should consider. Here in VA about 20 miles from here to people were just diagnosed with Malaria from Mosquitos on Thursday. And the west nile death count continues to rise. A buddy of mine found a mosquito repellent that seemed to be scentless a few years ago but I can't remember for the life of me what it was. I think I'll try to find something with the lightest scent and use it. If you know how to set yourself up with the wind and the direction of the deer then you shouhldn't have much to worry about. Its better to be safe than sorry.
