Anyone besides me?

Post by Truckrat »

Somehow between Saturday night and when I got home Sunday night, I must've been the target for a squadron of killer mosquitos or an army of chiggers. Woke up Monday and had bites all over from the knees down. Had a thought they might have come from
the hill where we did the group pictures, but had not seen anyone else make any comments about it. Just curious to know whether anyone else might've been a smorgasbord for the little biters. TR

No bugs on my mug and I was sitting on the ground for both pictures.

BTW Gary, I think you got Tom's chairs. He forgot his three chairs and Darrell said that you thought they belonged to one of the Texas group and sent them off with you. He said he had two NAPA and on Cabellas chairs. Tom may have already contacted you about them, but if hasn't drop me an e-mail.

I have a section on my left leg by the knee, on the inside.
There are probably about 7 or 8 and they look like misquito bites
but they dont itch.

Several people including me brought Off or similar to share - I used it and still got bit up. Oh well the welts don't last long and I do keep hydrocortizone in my Jeep.

I got a ton of them (looked like small mosquito bites) also just from the knee down. I used the OFF Thur night when I first felt them. I never felt any after, but was drinking beer or wine every other night-LOL! Mine didn't bother me much until Sun or Mon. They always ignore Chris and flock to me :dontknow: . If that's the worst that happened, I won't complain. They're already gone. Worst is to wear socks that rub against them and make them itch more. Us being with Scouts, we brought a whole First Aid Kit.

Biters

Post by Truckrat »

I got some stuff to rub on them that seems to give temporary relief, but I scratched mine too much. Should have used more OFF I guess. Will do that next time! TR

I felt them biting at night and just thought they were mosquitos. Didn't get any noticeable bite marks though. Must've gone for more tasty legs than mine.
