If you get in any bullnettle ( a green, ankle to calf high weed with spines on its talk and a white flower ) the best remedy is urine, no lie it will stop the itching immediately. You will get a raised welp almost instantly but pee will fix you up.

the rest -
Eat garlic to discourage mosquitoes and avoid cologne, Make sure and have some spray with deet.
Bees are attracted to sugary drinks.
Wolf spiders are your friend.
If walking around a swampy area and you smell a nasty, musky smell it is usually a water mocassin, they stink.

Take ticks off with clear finger nail polish. paint them thoroughly, wait, and pull out.
Black widows and brown recluses like dark, damp areas ( bascially everywhere not in direct sunlight down there ), the recluse is a bad dude and aggressive.
