Mosquito Bites Graphic

Yes mosquitoes can bite thru a single layer netted hammock. I slept with this arm behind my head in Alabama and was the only exposed body part against the hammock.

Try using an UQP next time....since you are offering to be a guinea pig.

Been there with my knee on the Ridgerunner bugnet. Lesson learned..

If we were competing, then you have me beat!

Wow, definately you were bit.

I have been chomped through clothes by skeeters. I use double layer hammocks to prevent bites.

Amazing how the skitter's proboscis is able to do its job through fabric.

A coyple of years ago I thought something was biting me through my DL bridge. It turned out a natural sweetner caused me to have hives.

Thank for sharing.

I really like the 360 degree bug net for this reason. they weigh a bit more, but man it is worth it. I'm typically camping in Louisiana.

Yep, miss my old wilderness logics setup now.

Was your hammock treated with permethrin? Where in Al?

I'd move. I would much rather deal with bears and frostbite here in New England

I can confirm that they bite through a single layer 1.6 hex... But fortunately mine was a single bite on the neck. Looks like you had a "fun" time. That's what makes the memories, right? Lol.
