indoors/outdoors? - 07/30/11 06:21 PM
I have always enjoyed doing my active exercises outdoors. I usually exercise from 6 AM-7 AM with NEVER an insect bite. However, we have a recent problem developing down here in our region. The Asian Tiger mosquito and the one that carries Yellow Fever has infested the area. The Health Department has posted an advisory. Apparently these guys like to dine at any hour of the day.
Two days ago I got my first bites and have moved indoors until we get a frost. I am avoiding the use of insect repellents, especially the little fan that hooks to your belt because I am doing deep breathing and I am concerned about the toxins.
Is anyone else dealing with this? Does anyone have any thoughts on the risk /reward ratio of outdoors with repellent vs indoors and no repellent?
Thanks,
