I have about 10 bug bites on my legs and they are driving me CRAZY. Guess that's the price I pay for wrestling with my little cousins in the yard on Monday.
What's with all the insects lately!?! I mean it was like one day there weren't any and then all of a sudden they were like, 'Winter's over! Sweet, there's the J-buffet, BON APPETITE!!!'
*sigh*
*scratch scratch scratch*
I hate bugs. :frown:

But you made some wonderful memories for your little cousins. :happy:0

Yup....we have tiger mosquitos here. They are out ALL day no matter what the weather and are really agressive. Do you have those.....little black & white ones? Sometimes now we just opt to stay in, which is pretty depressing.0

I'm grabbing the anti-itch cream and coming over... help is oooon the way!0 -
you can say that again i woke up with 2 bites i must have gotten from taken the dog out... :grumble:0

There is some really good bug repellent called Fisherman's Friend. It is very strong, but I spray it on my clothes rather than my skin when i need some heavy duty protection. It is 99% deet. I used it when I went to Alaska and never got a bite once - everyone was surprised.
To help stop the itching, dab on some vanilla (like for cooking) - yes, it really works - I think because of the alcohol in it maybe.0 -

WE HAVE MOSQUITOES OUT ALREADY UP HERE TOO (Michigan) BUT I WOULD TOLERATE THE BUGS TO LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA LIKE YOU!!! MY FAMILY VACATIONS THERE EVERY YEAR (Topsail Island). TRY AND HAVE A GOOD DAY ANYWAY...BITES AND ALL.:glasses:0

Bugs are the only down fall of summer. I still take it over the 10 feet in 2 weeks of snow this winter.
Not to gross you out but saliva works to help the itch when your not close to another remedy.0 -

Skeeters love me too, but won't touch my hubby. So not fair. Guess my blood tastes better.
Bugs have seemed worse this year. We are having trouble with ticks too - gross. I love where we live, but I guess it is one of the drawbacks of living in the woods. As someone else mentioned, it's a small price we pay for the privilege of living in NC.
P.S. My daughter said to tell you not to scratch it makes it worse - she should know; they love her too and she scratches until they bleed. Hope the itching goes away soon.0 -

Thank you baby fitnessluvr...I shall do as I am directed....(or at least try...*scratch scratch scatch*)0 -
bugs....I hear they are high in protein. :laugh:
That is why I live where I do. No need for spray here.
Went across country last year-I met a lot of bugs. Traveled with a few ticks here and there too.
sounds like you had a good time.0 -

My Bro-in-law was camping this weekend and was getting feasted upon until he put on vanilla.0 -
I too am covered in bug bites :grumble: from working out in the yard all weekend. I'm sitting here at work very itchy, I'm afraid people are gonna think I have fleas or something:embarassed:0

Yeah I hear ya..not a fan of bugs myself. Where we live we have to use OFF Backwoods with DEET.. I know some say DEET is bad..but we have a lot of ticks ..especially Deer ticks.. Which I had never heard of till we moved here from the city and I pulled one off my then 3 yr old daughter.She ended up getting the bullseye rash and Lyme disease and was sick all summer . So DEET it is for us0
