Was at Anahuac NWR and the flies were so bad I resorted to tieing a bandana=
around my face like a western bank robber. The I figured that flies would
still be buzzing me, but not even that. All I can figure the bandana
diffused enough of the CO2 in my breath that the flies couldn't identify a=
point source of CO2 and never actually located me. I've tried several times=
since with the same results, its keeps the flies away and to some extent
the mosquitoes.
