Bug Bites UP and DOWN my legs!  Last night I had dinner with my parents.  We ate out on their deck.  My mom had gotten an email earlier claiming that if you spray Listerine, bugs stay away.

“I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children’s swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don’t leave home without it…..Pass it on.”

As luck would have it, Mom had a bottle of Advanced Citrus LISTERINE® Antiseptic on hand.  She put some in an old spray bottle and doused the area.   Now maybe there is a difference between using original Listerine and Adanced Citrus Listerine but I gotta tell you, I got bit worse than usual.  And now all I want to do is scrape the skin off my legs with my nails.
