F use these and still gets bitten.
I used to get really bad when I first came to Italy. My left arm always swelled up to twice it’s size after a couple of bites – but now, thank goodness, it’s OK and, in fact, I hardly get bitten at all.

I’m well thank you. Glad that things are moving in the right direction for you and Skipp.
Take care and try to stay cool.

We burn the citrinella torches when we are outside but they seem to defy the smoke and come in for a bite anyway. Onw of the many reasons why I dislike summer and the heat.

By the way, how are you my friend. I have been around but a bit quiet. Hope alli well in Milan. We are making this our home…………as the blessings overtake the losses.
Love Gail
peace….
