Regarding Ticks, mosquitoes, Poison Oak,and sunburn:
It pays to wear long pants and long sleeves!It amazed me while on an all female bp trip, how many chemicals were needed to replace the simple act of wearing clothes (sunscreen, bug juice, etc) When countered with "It is too hot to cover up", I explain that over and over it has been proven that keeping the sun off of your skin and creating an air space with loose clothing keeps you cooler than exposing the skin to elements.
