<<how those people in the old south went all day breathing that heavy air and battling the noseeums and mosquitoes is a mystery to me - hehe.>> shades, as a 5th generation Floridian, I can tell you that the "old timers" didn't have it easy. Some of them would put newspaper up their long sleeve shirts to stop the 'skeeters' from drilling through the material. There used to be (might still be) a BIG mosquito (about an inch long) we used to call a "Golly Womper". They could really nail you but you could usually feel them land on you. Marsh, or salt water mosquitos were the worst of them. Noseeums were tough to deal with. My sister used to swell up with their bites but never affected me much. Funny, because the black flys up in AK & the Yukon make me swell up but not her. That heavy air...worked outside all my life there (fishing & a general contractor). During the summer, we used to keep a wet towel around our neck & wrist bands so tools wouldn't slip out of our hands. 90+ degrees & 90+ humidity would really keep your pours cleaned out!<G> Skin cancers & people finally drove me out of FL. Now live in the Rockies at 9,000'...no trouble breathing & sometimes 15% humidity<BG>
