Dry Skin vs. Mosquito Bites

Fall is rapidly approaching here in New York. Leaves are starting to fall and demand to be raked up. We took our air conditioners out of the window and put them into storage until next summer. Pretty soon we will need to turn on the heat inside. Outside, there are still a lot of mosquitoes at dusk, and we haven't had a good frost yet to kill them off - maybe tonight. I look forward to when I no longer have to apply repellant and when you don't worry about screenless windows.

Also with the cooler weather is lower absolute humidity. No more problems with mildew for a while. Towels that are damp will dry nicely without smelling bad. Pollen allergies are much less of a problem until the spring. Your skin also will dry up a little - I consider it a small price to pay for the better weather and bug reduction.

In Hawaii, the weather doesn't change. It's always allergy season. Unless you got sunburned, you rarely get dry skin. And did I mention year-round bug bites?
