Mozzies in Philly?
Hi all,
I'm setting out to Philly soon but have seen various reports about mosquito problems. Is this really an issue and should I bring some insect repellent with me?
I'm planning on seeing a Phillies game whilst I'm in town and wondered if I was going to get eaten alive otherwise!?
Thanks for any input.....

Mozzies? Haven't heard that one before.
I don't know that mosquitoes have been more of a problem here (that I've noticed out in the 'burbs). I don't think you'll have any issues at the Phillies game. (I did hear about West Nile being reported in Boston...but obviously that's well to the north.)

I spend half my time in Philly and don't get attacked by mosquitoes any worse there than anywhere else (I am a mosquito magnet--worst hit in my own back yard in Wilmington, DE). I've never heard anything about the baseball stadium being particularly problematic. If you are seriously prone to mosquito bites, just bring some bug spray!
