Bob, does it really still itch? Normally they are dead in 24 hours, or so.

Could have been Phorid Flies to as they were intro'd to kill off the fire ants, but the side effect is they go after people too.

Hope you didn't get one of those Bob. It happens.

Always happy to help, Bob

Don't sweat it Bob. That crap is a once in a thousand deal. These guys are just [bleep] you up. You've had a tetanus shot in the last two years right? Even if you get 'em, they are so small you will hardly notice them. No big deal really. Just don't scratch.

No Terry...isn't the bot fly. The thought of that infestation grossed me out,buddy. I'd go to the ER for that crap.

On second thought, I think I'll avoid Tx and stick with our turkey sized skeeters and ticks.

If you say so, they are being imported along with a bunch of other parasites & things like TB by the illegals coming across the border and that is no kidding.

It's chiggers Bob. Scrub the area gently, and no $hit, put some nail polish on the bite. That will suffocate the little buggers. It (the itch) usually lasts about a week on me. I didn't get any down there, but I brought my own misery, poison ivy. Went to the doc yesterday, and they gave me subdermal shots of cortisone on my "rash". Took awhile. Good looking nurse though.

I heard about your poison ivy bout. Glad your turning the corner. I had to do those daily reduction of steroid pills when I had mine. It worked fairly quickly. One things is certain, I'm not hunting Africa next May wearing shorts.If Texas was my test, I failed miserably.

Bob, you will be fine, seriously, Sean's methods are the best I have used, the army gave me a shot to make mine go away, it felt like they injected jello into me, almost like a gamma gloubin shot. Les
