I wish I had an answer for no-see-ums but I don&#8217;t have the perfect concoction to ward them away. I used to take an allergy pill every day and I don&#8217;t remember getting bit as much&#8230; but of course now &#8220;they&#8221; say daily allergy pills aren&#8217;t good for you- jeez- now I get no-see-ums bites. I use the same theory for no-see-ums\u00a0as what I do when I hear thunder&#8230; time to get off the beach. Any time I get to spend on the beach curbs those beach cravings and its especially nice when I find a few treasures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/static.iloveshelling.com\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23403\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/shells-that-look-like-candy-corn\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,454\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1438546139&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Kirby Rambo Collections Inc&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Shells that look like candy corn&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shells that look like candy corn\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Shells that look like candy corn&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23403 size-medium\" title=\"Shells that look like candy corn\" src=\"http:\/\/static.iloveshelling.com\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"Shells that look like candy corn\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Shells-that-look-like-candy-corn-copy.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join me on a Shelling Adventure!
