Hey everyone, I've been getting bitten by insects a lot more lately, especially after working in my garden. After my gardening session on Sunday, I ended up with a ton of bites that make it look like I've got a rash or something. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Oh totally, I've been dealing with bites from all my outdoor watering activities too. It’s strange because I usually do just fine, but this year? I feel like a bug magnet!
Right? It's almost like the bugs are ungrateful for all the hard work we do in the garden for them. I've noticed a lot of bites as well, and I can't believe they'd repay our gardening efforts with itchy welts!
I've noticed way more bugs this year, thanks to the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides. While it's been beneficial for the environment, it seems we've been getting the short end of the stick with all these bites. And believe me, I'm feeling it too after spending time outdoors!
Same here! My neighbor has this wildlife pond, and it’s swarming with mosquitoes—definitely a bug hotspot! All those insects seem to be taking over!

Ugh, I know what you mean! I usually just get a few bites, but this year I ended up with hives from mosquitoes. It's making me nostalgic for hotter climates where I used to get that!
