I went on what I thought was a fairly innocuous forest walk yesterday. A nice and quiet trail that I have been to before. It was an overcast, almost misty, morning - which made for quite a spooky walk. At one point I was freaked out because I thought I heard a bear - but I suspect it was just my over-reactive imagination.
But later in the day, I discovered that I was covered with insect bites on both my legs and arms. I didn't see or feel anything during the walk. What made it even more disappointing is that I had sprayed myself with bug spray before going on the walk. Apparently it didn't work. It is quite old bug spray, and I suspect it has expired and lost it's effectiveness. So that is something I need to rectify before insects suck me totally dry of blood.
