I grew up on this swamp, this is the house I grew up in, so I should make it, although, its been awhile....If I remember, its the Horse flies that really get to you, and you just have to tune out the Mosquitos..some people can't do this..I don't even hear them, unless one has landed in my ear. I think that when you grow up in a marshy area, with ALOT of insects..you just adjust to it...nothing special..just get used to the buzzing and humming..Even to this day in TX, when the Mosquitos get bad, at say a cookout or something, I watch everyone scratching and swinging their arms around, and I have to ask, are the bugs bad or something??? But ticks are a real problem, and you have to check for them often...I have never really found a way to get rid of them, and they seem to be getting really bad....when I was a kid, I don't remeber getting covered with them...I would have one here or there, but it seems like now they are everywhere.....in ten years, its gonna be like a horror movie or something....I really think they are getting worse or more prevalent.
