Wonder if this was true? If it dried and flaked off, it'd still leave enough residue to minimize exposed bare skin. How did they bear all the bugs? That is true but it was mud from shell and limestone, not clay like you have up there. I think the combination of the alkalinity and the barrier protection was the key. Guys I know from Everglades City are pretty much immune to mosquitoes anyway. They just tolerate the bites As a related thing to the mud, I know concrete dust is a mosquito repellant. If you are out in the morning mixing concrete they will bite until you get a bit of the concrete dust on you ther they leave you alone. - Plugs up their biters? |
