    Lemme know when you got some sorta probiotic skin ointment that repels all my local species of bloodsuckers - okay?

    Bonus points if it does the same for ticks.

      Try coconut oil! I get five hours of coverage though it doesn’t work if you sweat through your clothes.

      There is certainly some kind of magnetism.

      Have you ever noticed they like to go for the feet? Or more sensitive skin areas, I find they will go for the edges of scars.
