Did you have the unfornate experience of visiting Atlantic City/Brigantine?? The Brigantine lifeguards have a huge greenhead fly on their boat as a mascot (for use in competetions only-the town got pretty mad about it). Occasionally, you'll get some in LBI/Sea Isle, but thats only when the wind is blowing the right (or should I say, wrong) way. We have what we call the "Saving Private Ryan Theory." You need to kill as many greenheads as possible or else the same one will come back and bite you later.
I'm allergic to greenheads. Let me tell ya, you think them biting is bad? You should have seen my the day after I did research at Brigantine. My entire body was swollen; My mom wanted to take me to the ER cause I was all swollen and the bites were turning purple. I took alot of antihistimines and slept through the next 5 days.
