We encountered sand flies during our several vacations in Honduras. Along the sea coast they're God awful things and so tiny you almost can't see them. They fly in swarms and after they bite you, they itch like hell for a month or more. My sister has allergic reactions to them, her bites turn into big blisters.

The next time you watch "Survivor" when it's being filmed in the tropics, look at the legs of the contestants. They've got red welts all over them from the bites of the flies........

We tried all kinds of repellents and the only thing that came close to working was a product called "Cactus Juice". At the time they made a sunscreen and a skin moisturizer.........
