While were on the topic of aggravating nasty bugs I have a question......what in the heck are those "No see-um's" I see listed on bug spray cans? [&:]
I always thought they were those tiny biting gnats that come out right at sunset and swarm all over you. If you don't live near a swamp you probably never encountered any.

I think no-see-ums are biting midges, which are biting gnats like you say.

The bleach baths work!! If you hadred bugs(AKA chiggers)bad enough, you wouldn't think twice about jumping in a bleach bath. Just mix 5-6 ounces of bleach with a tub full of water. Quick and easier than nail polish and other methods.
