We stopped at Bishop a few years back just when some flying insect was emerging --- out of a hole right next to our motorhome! We had thousands of them in our rig, and it took six months to get the last of them out. We even had to buy a new vacuum cleaner to suck them teeney little moth-type creatures out of everywhere!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-64329480239921683952011-03-16T10:27:37.971-05:002011-03-16T10:27:37.971-05:00You can keep the no seeums ...we get them every Sp...You can keep the no seeums ...we get them every Spring and Summer....You sound like you are somewhat alergic to bites...Keep Benedryl cream and pills handy...They sure helped me with my Fire Ant bites!!!<br />Loved the pic of Emma!Dennis and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320009741335075781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-79750515170079916652011-03-16T10:08:09.267-05:002011-03-16T10:08:09.267-05:00I was introduced to no-see-ums last night sitting ...I was introduced to no-see-ums last night sitting outside with friends.

They used a product called Ultrathon by 3M.

Benadryl should be part of everyones first aid kit.

It was terrible the first week, trying to sit out in the evening but feeling like 10,000 microscopic pirahana were nibbling my legs. Either they went away or we developed an immunity, because it got better after a week or so. My legs looked like I had been walking through a colony of chiggers.

I just hate to get bug bites, and the last few years I've had some horrendous reactions to what I think were spider bites.

I've been through many many close calls and a few actual shut downs. I think it's just pure infantile of Congress but that's my opinion.<br /><br />Emma = do not, repeat, do not try to bite those bees. Skittlez's mouth swelled up so bad and she had trouble breathing.
