In August. On a windy beach. With a dog and a child.

    Swarms of bugs make it a lot less enjoyable, at least for me. There’s nothing like seeing someone’s back entirely covered in mosquito bites just because it rained a couple days earlier. I’ve read it’s only expected to get worse with the progression of climate change, especially when it comes to invasive species.

    I guess there’s DEET and permethrin, but I don’t feel great about having to use those.

      That makes sense. It’s rarely that bad out here on the west coast but I understand from others that some regions are insufferable.
