I was just reading Dwight Hinshaw’s “Column One” in the Burns Times-Herald, one of the better newspapers in Central Oregon. Dwight has a remedy for the mosquito situation, however he says "but we take no responsibil ity.” Here is what he says: “Been scratching mosquito bites? Nothing seems to help? Then try Clorox. This com mon household product ranks among the best in temporar ily stopping tht itching, and helps eliminate quickly the swelling. Apply the Clorox, full strength, to the bitten area. A slight tingling or burn ing sensation quickly leaves and so does the itch. Repeat as needed." Here is the rub, Dwight, howinell do you get rid of the goshawful smell of the Clorox. I think I’d just as soon have the bite and itch.
