I've been watching that Animal Planet show 'Monster Inside Me' and now every time I have a weird bump or any GI trouble whatsoever I assume I'm infested with parasites. You should have seen the cleaning operation I instituted for the gear/clothes when we came home from staying in a hotel for 2 nights last month because you know, there might have been bedbugs.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-56531426277318339052010-09-20T08:54:12.134-07:002010-09-20T08:54:12.134-07:00Diana: I don't think we have fire ants--but if...Diana: I don't think we have fire ants--but if we did, they'd have to be following me around wherever I slept out, whether in my van or out of it. I'm still thinkin' mosquitoes and for some reason my body just reacts differently now.

Apparently I wasn't. So I paid for the peace of mind.<br /><br />Deb: Me, too! And you're right, of course, we're BOTH lying about that because we're both OBVIOUSLY barely out of, like, college now.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-2954472707122094552010-09-20T06:41:59.960-07:002010-09-20T06:41:59.960-07:00LOL!!! i am old enough to have had the original ga...LOL!!! i am old enough to have had the original game when it came out---and that's all i'm gonna say about that! hahahaahahahahah!debzdogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349402884706473788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-8293044487757205062010-09-20T03:58:40.988-07:002010-09-20T03:58:40.988-07:00I'd ask for my money back.

They start out as a red but then usually within 24 hours get a liquid head on them. They open, then really start to itch. Takes a while for them to heal.

Steph: Yeah,...Deb--good work! HOW old are you? ;-)<br /><br />Steph: Yeah, except that, as I said, this seems to be how I react to mosquito bites in various locations, just not so many at once. And dogs are only occasionally involved. Can't specifically ever say, ah ha!, a mosquito bit me there! But--what else would it be? (And I never get the other kind of mosquito lump these days.)Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-9635025573385735192010-09-19T18:54:50.253-07:002010-09-19T18:54:50.253-07:00Yarrrrr!

Keel haul 'em all!<br /><br />At least you got a doc this time who was less laissez-faire about it. <br /><br />Wondering whether it's flea-bitus due to proximity to OTHER scurvy dogs... or just generally indigenous to the field where the trial was set up.stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247975595586748410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-62807132549860368922010-09-19T17:59:31.803-07:002010-09-19T17:59:31.803-07:00i know ! i know!
