Skin friendly midge and mosquito protection
If you are outdoors in Scotland in summer, you'll see people looking like badly dressed bank robbers all over the place, and not an HSBC in sight either. These people of course are all sniggering silently behind their mesh head nets as they see you swat away another cloud of midges when you walk past them. The midge head net - this is what we're on about.
Instead of coating your face and hair in DEET or some other toxic potion that Skye midges will eat for breakfast, try this method and be kind to your skin. You'll still need to cover your hands and any other exposed bits but your pretty mug will be saved from the ravages of hardened chemical being applied every time you are sitting outside in Scotland. Speaking of mugs though, that is the downside of these insect nets - no way to get that glass of red wine from your plastic camping mug to your piehole without some chin wetting hilarity as you sook it through the mesh. Someone needs to invent one with a valve you can stick a straw through. Midge head nets - you'll look stupid, but you wont itch. Posted by bigcrags @ 1:06 PM
