I can only hope that you are now non-itchy and bug-free.<br /><br />So...what WAS that thing nibbling on your arm as you slept? Wait, do I want to know?

I'll get covered with bites, but I only remember ONE time in our almost 45 years of marriage that Wayne had a bite. I think his skin is too leathery and tough, so they come suck on me instead. I bought a bug repellant pin, but when I wore it, it couldn't be seen...it was covered with skeeters and flies who were resting & digesting my blood. Luckily we don't have many biting bugs in San Diego...other than black widows and tarantulas. Black widow bites hurt, but luckily I haven't tangled with a tarantula...yet.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602096751376024068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-73534800563797242062011-08-17T12:44:12.738-04:002011-08-17T12:44:12.738-04:00I thought I was the world's biggest bug magnet...I thought I was the world's biggest bug magnet, but it sounds like you have me beat. Sorry about that. NOT a title I wanted to have. I eat a good bit of garlic. Not sure if it actually helps any, but it tastes good, and I don't have to worry so much about vampires ...Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-13808010489317920802011-08-17T12:02:33.300-04:002011-08-17T12:02:33.300-04:00Taking B vitamins over a period of time makes you ...Taking B vitamins over a period of time makes you less of a target; you do not taste so good to the vermins. And, though the natural B's generally work better in the body, the synthetic certainly taste worse and have a stronger more unpleasant fragrance, seemingly warding off more vermins.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291799446982102153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-53733906283665589552011-08-17T11:22:06.675-04:002011-08-17T11:22:06.675-04:00Oh, that's horrible!

So sorry about the bugs. Hopefully you they weren't out there every time you went to the beach and that you were still able to relax and have a nice vacation. My worst mosquito encounter: the state of Michigan - I believe the mosquito may be called the state bird. I remember visiting relatives there and not wanting to get out of the car when we arrived due to the huge cloud of mosquitos that were around the car just waiting to attack.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395734853162524799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-75662737338491836812011-08-17T09:03:39.392-04:002011-08-17T09:03:39.392-04:00Well, hopefully it will provide a respite from the...Well, hopefully it will provide a respite from the technology Imps?<br /><br />My poor little two-year-old is a mosquito magnet, too. And wouldn't you know it, the house we moved into is right near a wetlands, so guess who gets feasted on every time she sets foot outdoors! My family has a history of allergies to DEET, so she can't even get the full protection. Poor thing! I keep telling her it's just because she's so sweet. I'm sure that's your problem, too :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
