Insect Food

About two weeks ago I got two insect bites on both sides of my right leg just above the knee. They itched, swelled and oozed clear stuff, stay­ing that way for about three days until a scab formed. I’ve never reacted to mos­quito bites that way, so I guessed they were from a spi­der, but what­ever they were from they were unpleasant.

Then a week ago I got bit 4 times. Back of the right side of my neck, about four inches fur­ther down on my back, near the waist on the left side and on my left ankle. I don’t feel the ini­tial bite, but then I’ll notice some­thing itch­ing and scratch a bump.

Those four had just about cleared up when on Mon­day morn­ing I had an itchy bump on my left fore­arm. Then later that morn­ing I noticed an itch under my left arm and then one fur­ther down the back on the same side.

It is just me, Donna hasn’t been both­ered a bit. They could only be com­ing from a cou­ple places, my dresser or I’m get­ting bit each time we ven­ture into Hitch­cock Woods. My plan of attack to com­bat this issue was to wait until I had had been bit­ten enough that my body devel­oped an immu­nity to what ever was feed­ing on my, but it didn’t seem to be work­ing. So last night my wife saiid let’s take every­thing out of my dresser and wash it. Then in the morn­ing you can spray the draw­ers and every­thing down with some bug spray.

Washed, sprayed, replaced, we’ll see how it works out.
