Frogwatch October 18th 09 10:04 PM

I got et up
 
Had my daughter at her crew practice so I took a walk an the nature
trail. By the time I got outta the woods my legs were itching and by
Thur night I had obvious bites all over. Now, I am covered with itchy
welts. YIKES, redbugs. I used to be immune to them what's going on
here. I'd only get a few but this is major. Now I see why people
hated them so much. Oddly, my entire family was immune to them but
now I am not.

Try rubbing the bites with ammonia. It's amazingly effective on
mosquito bites.

I used to hear that indians in FL used to apply lots of mud to their
bodies to protect themselves from bugs. Wonder if this was true? If
it dried and flaked off, it'd still leave enough residue to minimize
exposed bare skin. How did they bear all the bugs? Yes, woodsmoke
does help, some but not enough.

They probably just put up with it.. I have seen video of tribes where
the folks let common flies run free in their noses and such. They didn't
even swat at them, the flies cleaned while they were there.. Freaked me
out though...
