Bug Bites

Holy freaking bug bite, Batman! I just went out into my backyard to try some night photography, and I was eaten alive by mosquitoes. Eaten … alive! I’m going to have to get me some deep woods insect repellent if I want to be hanging about in my yard late at night without losing mass quantities of blood.

Then I came in an put what is supposed to be a super-duper anti-itch cream on the bites, and it isn’t doing anything at all. I am going insane from the itching. I don’t think I have been bitten by a mosquito in years, and now … all over my ankles, arms and neck! Eek!

Though I did discover an all new way to annoy the insane neighbors thanks to my little romp through the yard. Now that she has a new dog that can hear (previously she had two deaf dogs), I was eventually noticed by said dog. It started barking, and then the deaf dog started barking too. Hee hee … I saw their bedroom light come on, so I hid behind a tree. I’m so evil.

Gotta do something about the mosquitoes though. Really, really awful out there. Hope there isn’t any West Nile in my area, because I have dozens of bites all over me, and I hope not to get sick and die from something as simple as a big bite … though that would be just my luck, wouldn’t it? :rolleyes:

  1. Brother nearly poured vodka on our legs yesterday evening to stop the itching from mosquito bites. We were outside picking peaches from our trees and the neighors decided to mow their lawn…. MOSQUITO ATTACK

  2. I have vodka, and I thought about using it (because it usually does work), but … I’d rather have it with orange juice. So I did. Bug bites didn’t bug me too much after that, though they are itching again this morning. There are a lot of fat, happy mosquitoes in my yard today. :(
