Dear AMS

Please can you help me? I'm in a bit of quandary.  I've been looking forward to my Fly-drive holiday to the United States for some time..however, I can't help feeling that our roads are dangerous enough already without letting insects operate motor vehicles.

Should I go or should I stay?  And if I do go, should I leave the insect repellent at home?

Looking forward to your swift reply,

Brian B. Stin-G'urts

Dear Brian,
      Have you been handling bug repellent without a special mask and gloves? It's possible that some solution has absorbed into your skin and well, let's not think what its possibly done to your brain, but suffice to say, a Fly-drive holiday doesn't mean a fly is at the wheel of the car. In fact, you'll be expected to drive yourself in a rental car. Do you think you can handle that? If so go. I would suggest leaving your tank of insect repellent at home though. You could spread deadly fumes throughout the entire cabin of the plane, knocking out the crew and sending it into a tailspin. Or, to put it in terms you'll understand... “Splat!!”
