With summer comes mosquitoes. Lots and lots of mosquitoes. And I swear, each and every one will hunt me down and pierce my tender skin during the next few months. Much of the population has found me already, in fact, and I have itchy welts all over my body to prove it. I hate mosquitoes.

Obviously, I’m in the market for some bug spray — I really need to add it to the bag of gear I’ll be lugging to the baseball fields this summer — and I’m hoping to find something that doesn’t smell like, well, bug spray.

Tell me what’s worked for you, so I can try it and see if it works for me. And if you have any clever cures for treating the bites I’ve already got, please share.
