Bug Bites... bite

...Cycle day 8...
It's summer time, and I live out in the country.  There are lots of ticks, chiggers, and mosquitoes.  My last count of bug bites was about 23, that was last week.  Now I have.... 36 of them, 16 of which are in and around the panty area.  As soon as some start going away.... I get just as many or more to replace them.  Usually we would be starting to work on our baby making for this month.  Usually when we are in the clear that my period is completely done...We like to have some fun ;)   But I can't even imagine trying to look sexy when I've got big red bumps all around my special parts.  I haven't even been shaving my legs that much because it takes off the tops of these awful bug bites.  Yesterday my husband told me he found a tick on his... you know what.  That doesn't exactly excite me.....  Maybe he has an idea about how I feel now, at least about the sexy part.  What if I'm like this all summer?  Will the more fun side of our relationship dissapear until I'm no longer a big itchy blob?  If something even as simple as vaseline can be bad for sperm... I imagine hydrocortisone would be horrible.
Do you have any baby making safe advice about how to keep the bugs from biting?  Cause I really could use some.
