I tought brewers yeast worked because it gave your body a little
extra "odor".

| Eat a lot of garlic. It usually works well but then again a little odor
comes with it's use. A friend of mine used to eat pickled garlic cloves
and he never got bit.

A crazy shop aholic once gave me an electronic bug chaser that worked off
a 9 volt battery and hung from your belt. It work *if* you had someone
else nearby without one. A remarkable product. Just supply bait and
you'll be left alone. 8�)

| A couple of years ago I bought a product called permenone (sp) to keep ticks
off me. This stuff doesn't smell and it kills the bugs that land on you.
You have to spray your clothes with it BEFORE you put them on. I've had bugs
land on me and then fall off. Maybe that's why I'm losing my hair!

| I bought a jar of Brewers yeast pills. I am going to start off with
that, and see if it works. If it works, great. If not, back to the
drawing board.

| Bob,
Hunt from your boat and the chiggers won't get you!

| No, but the water moccassins will. Anyway, keep the ideas flowing, as
I don't get off swallowing 10 damn brewers yeast pills a day. 5 in the
morning, and 5 at night.
If I have to have skin so soft, cutters, and deep woods off, on during
bow season, I will.
Mainly, I am looking at chiggers and mosquitos. I am told that the
Brewers yeast is good for chiggers and ticks, and that I am SOL on the
mosquitos.

| Bob,
I guess you could always use a mesh headnet and mesh gloves to keep the
bugs off of you. I have pretty good success with it myself.
A pet bullfrog on your shoulder would also do the trick.

| Wess,
I had serious problems with the mesh gloves. Opening day of bow
season, I counted 67 chigger bites on my left hand.
