Mosquito bites normally arent even noticeable until they itch, in which case they go away in a day anyways... I'm just thankful we don't have any scorpions, or venomous spiders to really worry about.

Dont let skeeters scare you off, at least you don't have to worry about DYING from anything out here... and the snakes, even out in the country they're extremely rare to run across, and the chance of it being a rattler - lol.

Enjoy minnesota, aside from it's winters - it's great.

Well, I thought we did'nt have any poisonous spiders until last year, since last summer my granddaughter has been bitten twice by a brown recluse, in two different homes! From what I understand, their bites are more venomous than a black widow.

That's very strange -- brown recluse spiders tend to be unaggressive (getting them to bite usually takes some effort). What is she doing to them?
