[QUOTE="Anniesantiago, post: 28414, member: 3502"] Well, Ms. Grinch ::laughing:: We're not all as steely as you, I guess :) I have MCS, which is an autoimmune disease. My immune system is OVERactive, which means that when I get a sniff of a molecule like perfume or air freshener, my body thinks it is an invader and ATTACKS. Then it proceeds to attack my own body, leading to aching joints, fever, brain fog, and a whole list of symptoms which are similar to flu symptoms. One exposure to the wrong substance puts me in bed for up to 2 weeks, rendering me unable to walk or function. In the case of a bite, a flea or mosquito bite swells up , oozes, is HOT, and leads to bruising under the skin. As a result, I fear bites like bedbug bites, where you generally get dozens, not just one. Soooo... I'm sorry I don't meet your pilgrim standard checklist, and where your "grinchiness" might be sound in most cases, I have learned to be prudent. Since we plan to sleep outdoors much of the time, the tent seems like a good idea for me. Happy Holidays! Annie [/QUOTE]
