bug protection

The mosquitos and blackflies are putting a damper on my gardening fun this year.  They seem extra numerous, and extra frantic to get a blood meal.  I don't want to spray myself with DEET because the last time I did that, it melted my plastic hairband and I wondered what it was doing to my skin!

I found the answer.  It's not sexy, and it impedes my vision, but combined with gloves and long pants, a bug jacket allows me to stay outside as long as my back holds up.  I still here the bugs angrily buzzing around, trying to get in, but they can't get me!
