Ok, don't let this happen to you while musky fishing in Canada......

An old board member once told me that, years ago, he was fishing at LOTW and came across a DEAD GUY floating along in his trustly Lund. It seems the dude got lost and spent the night out in the skeeters and his body had a bad reaction to the zillion bug bites he sustained.

I believe it could happen based on my one week at LOTW, mid-summer in Kenora area. Skeeters were just unbelievable in the early evening, and terrible all night. And no running away from them - if you're lost you can't buzz along for fear of hitting rocks. A local told me his story of getting caught far from home with a dead motor - he spent most of the night in the water trying to keep the skeeters off his face.

'Course, I believe about anything.
