Attack of the Jejenes

Jejenes is Spanish for no-see-ums. There must have been a new hatch in the mangroves because over the past week I've been bitten at least 50 times on each arm and leg. Truth.

They come out in the late afternoon and evenings if there isn't a breeze. It's not as bad in my screen room but they eventually find their way in. We learned to put on long sleeves, pants and socks before dinner if there isn't a breeze. We talked to someone who used to camp here, but started staying elsewhere because of the jejenes. It's the mangroves on the lagoon I think. It's probably not a problem on the other side of Santispac.
There's usually more of a breeze by the water - keeps the jejenes inactive while we eat.
