I don't blame you. Here in the Ozarks hiking and camping in the forests is something we locals do in the cool months, from the beginning of October to the end of March the next year. After that we hang out at the lakes, streams, and swimming holes. I only venture into the forests in the warm months when I must and I try to wear clothes treated with permethrin when I do. I not a big fan of wearing poisoned clothes but that stuff does work very well.
