Kathy,

A couple of other hints. Avoid perfumes and other scented cosmetics. Try to avoid the leeward side of the island at dusk, and if there, use repellent. As I mentioned, they go for your ankles, but at dusk I found it very helpful to spray my hand and apply at my hairline, too.

I've seen fire ants on the island, but not on the beach. They are hard to miss, being bright red, so just watch where you sit.

Doug
