insects make me want to scream and shout
the night before last i saw zoe, one of our kittens, freaking out in the corner. after a few moments of spastic antics i saw that she was chasing a very small flying bug about. i thought to myself "awwww. that's cute" and went back to knitting.
later i looked down and saw a stripey looking mosquito snacking on my arm; presumably zoe had missed out on her snack. i swatted it and missed. i grumbled appropriately, then returned again to knitting.
two more bites later i finally got the bugger, and i was pissed. everybody hates mosquitos and the discomfort of the itchiness that accompanies them.... but this time it's different.
for whatever reason i am now having some sort of allergic reactions to these bites. i have a bite on either elbow, and both are visibily swollen in a span of several inches, and when touched feel like a bruise. a very itchy, extreme heat emitting bruise.
mfd was kind enough to provide me with some cortisone cream, which helps immensely, but i am still haunted by that itchy pain just minutes later. use only four times a day? i think not. a can only hope that this is not a sign of things to come for the summer season.

Take it from one who is allergic to mosquitos, you need SkeeterStik, and ice cubes. Also Advil (etc) helps with swelling. SkeeterStik is available at any drug store and will just numb the whole thing. Heavenly relief, use as often as you like.
Nice boingo reference.
Sorry about the bites... Those are no fun no fun no fun.
Did you ground Zoe for neglecting to eat the nasty buggy creature?
ooo. West Nile! Cool!

i hear after the swelling they get super rashy and contagious to co-workers. better do them all a favor and take a day off.
crybaby james! i will kill all of the buggies today...no more squitoes...but maybe you should find the electric raquet of death just in case!
ick. the worst part is that when you squashed it, you didn't just get your blood. you probably got several other peoples' too. yay for nature!
Great article! Thanks.
