Seriously, bugs?

[dixienormous]

Pretty sure whatever asshole bug bit me was radio active.

These were taken last night. I'm more swollen in my arm today, super red and really uncomfortable and the one on my hip it itching like mad (plus it's gross that it's right on a stretch mark). Good thing I'm already taking a sick day tomorrow.

Yipes. Maybe you're allergic?

I got bit my a mosquito in bed last night--in bed! WTMF?

With all the rain we've had, there are going to be clouds of bugs everywhere soon.

I've always had bad reactions to bug bites. But they usually go away within a day. Stupid rain and grossness.

cuddlyevil - unfortunately you're going to be screwed with mosquitos this year. Get your benadryl cream ready.

Dang you are like my DH. Every time he goes in the yard, he gets more mysterious bites.

[cuddlyevil]

Dixie, I know. I need to buy a case of those bite md sticks--they're awesome.

I think I need to get one of those "Off" repellant clip on fan things. H laughs at me when I mention them but he was grossed out by my arm last night.

The bug spray that is actually a lotion you put on your skin works the best.

Ouch that looks painful.
While in Panama, My pale legs were attacked viciously. I had 3 types of bug repellant. Nothing worked. My legs looked like they had chicken pocks.

Owwwwww.

[margarita]

Ouch. Sorry Dixie!

[Muddled]

That looks miserable.

I have a couple little bites on my ankles. They are small, innocent-looking things, but man, they itch like crazy.

[tiramisu]

Ouch, that sucks.

Also, you ladies have me starting to worry about my visit. I don't remember the last time I had a mosquito bite.

Dixie, I hope you heal quickly. Or get super powers.

Um gross. Bug bites always freak me out.

Those fan clips really do work even though it is impossible to wear one without looking like a giant dork.

I would recommend this stuff called benadryl gel. It forms a crusty bit around your bite area so there is no air exposure and you don't itch anymore. It is brilliant!

I got bit over the weekend by some angry mosquito right on the back of my knee! It's really uncomfortable, but now I feel like I have nothing to complain about...
