try adding 100 degree F heat to that and you've got how I've been feeling the last couple of nights.

pfff....... gnats......


try tiger mosquitos......and no wind.....

Oh yeah, and chiggers. I guess I was in a nest of them or something, I had over 200 below my waist. That classified as one of the most miserable month.

Try taking a hayfever tablet, the anti histamine can reduce the swelling and help you sleep.

lol. Travel to thailand, get lots of mosquito bites and hope that you don't get a hemerage and die..

The halocinations suck because you see stuff like hurses (Morgue cars), and the walls collapse..and you see yourself dieing..

My blood must taste great as well...I just keep getting em.

I have had a few of those in my time........the best way to get them out is using a very small hook and a very small worm on a very small fishing rod and stick it up your winky until you get a bite.

Just dont tug too hard when you think you have a bite :wink:
