In Alaska's Brooks Mountain Range above the Arctic Circle, on a Boy Scout "summer" backpacking trip in 2006, my son and his friends amused themselves by slapping each other on the back with their gloved hands: They wanted to see who could kill the most mosquitoes with one handprint. My son won, with 39 dead.
