Ok, I know that it is the Caribbean and that there are bugs (duh). I know there are mosquitos.....but what other little critters are prevalent on the island? We spend a lot of time in Costa Rica.....just wondering if the bug situation is the same.
Are there sand fleas, chiggers, no-seeums????
I am a magnet for all these bugs....and am allergic on top. I am not worried about Zika, as I am sure I have already had it and I am not in the child bearing years any longer.
Oh, and before anyone asks.....yes, I wear insect repellant. I have tried everything from garlic, vitamin B, Skin So Soft, dryer sheets in my pockets. I now make my own bug repellent out of clove oil and also use a mixture of lavender, citronella, eucalyptus, etc. I also go inside during feasting hour (sunrise/sunset) and wear long pants or a skirt at night.
