Mosquitoes Wearing Red

I don't know about you but when I'm out walking I don't want to be skeeter bait so I wear that nasty smelling/feeling skeeter spray. This morning I just couldn't make myself spray it on but was still reluctant to venture outside without some type of protection. (This is when I enter my newbie scientist stage). I accidently knocked over a box of scented powder, 'Red' to be exact and the thought clicked that maybe those mosquitoes wouldn't appreciate a snout full of scented powder let alone wear it on their feet. So I doused myself with powder, head to toe, put on my sandals, and marched out the door. As I glanced down at my ankles to see if I had any takers I realized the powder had me looking like a slightly rotund poof of powder. Now locked into my scientific experiment and putting on my more than a little 'don't care' attitude I headed down the alley and took a left toward the hiking trails. Stopping at various mosquito checkpoints I was elated to find that my treatment had worked, NO Mosquitoes!, and I still smelled lots better than the mosquito spray I had been using.

Heading back down the alley toward my house my mind is seething with a multitude of ideas on how to improve and even market my idea. Now I'm wondering if I need to venture into the medicated powders, and do cheaper powders work just as well as the more expensive kind that I had started with. The potential is there! I just need to do more testing. So tonight at dusk I plan to be wearing another powder, this time Elizabeth Arden's Red Door.(I'm using up what I have before I stock up on more powders) I have to get to the store to buy reflectors so my neighbors won't freak out recognizing me in my powdered state and a headlamp so I can see my mosquito attackers in action. Wish me luck! I'll be reporting back on my experiment. Oh, and I think I'll call it }}}}}}}}}Peeeeeeeeee ssssssssssS{{{{{{{{{ (for Powdered Skeeter. Catchy, don't you think?!)
