I completely understand why you would find chiggers and mosquito bites to be the worst part of outdoors activities like hiking and fishing. These pesky insects can be a nuisance and can cause discomfort and even illness. However, there are some practical measures you can take to reduce your exposure to these insects. For example, wearing long-sleeve shirts and pants, using insect repellent, avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours (dawn and dusk), and staying on marked trails where insects may be less prevalent. Using natural methods, such as burning citronella candles or using essential oils like lavender or peppermint, may also help to repel insects. Furthermore, carefully inspecting yourself and others after spending time outdoors and removing any ticks or insect debris as soon as possible may help to reduce any discomfort and risk of illness that may come with insect bites. While it can be frustrating to deal with the after-effects of insect bites, taking preventative measures and being cautious while enjoying outdoor activities can make the experience much more enjoyable!
