well today i noticed where i set my scope up there is a decent sized ants nest, so that might be where the bites came from ... now that i think about it they were all on my feet and lower legs - so, umm this stuff might work after all
(there must be some truth in it with the number of people on the mailing list who knew about it).
but yes good point, it might be different species of mosquitoes, and also good point that its probably not as effective as RID. just looking at alternatives. there's probably a plant in a remote rainforest that will do it!
