Seriously, the biggest drag about warm weather in nature is the bite of a bug or spider. Insect repellents don't always scare off the braver species. Chamomile, oats, and all those creams marketed to relieve the itch are good but i've found something that does the job everytime. The sacred Echinacea plant. I always have a tincture of echinacea on deck. After a day in the sun and I'm in the house relaxing, that's when I notice a puffy red mark and the irritating itch. I just let a drop of the echinacea tincture soak in on the bite site and just about instant relief.
Who knew?
