Not benadryl, I really need to remember to buy some of that!, but a seasonal. I feel much better and less itchy this morning. It never occurred to me that I might be having an allergic reaction, but it makes sense. All the other bugs that bite me make me welt like crazy!<br /><br />I can handle the mosquito season. They don't come on quite so thick, and don't last as long either. Deer flies hurt more when they bite, but don't attack all at once.<br /><br />Because winter's too cold! lolWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023803000478958088.post-48992712069008319002012-05-23T10:35:11.407-04:002012-05-23T10:35:11.407-04:00ugh. the two most horrible words known to man - bl...ugh. the two most horrible words known to man - black flies! we got ours about 2 weeks ago and although i have the bug nets - i just hate wearing them! then of course i get eaten alive and right now i am covered in welts! jambaloney gets bitten too but he doesn't welt up like i do. and i get sick from the toxins. if you end up getting eaten alive, or your kids and you feel sick - take a benadryl. i don't know why it works, nor have i bothered researching why it works but jambaloney's mom gave me a benadryl last year when she saw how covered i was. when you've been bitten and have gone toxic it makes you crazy. and the benadryl helped. and i am someone that doesn't even take aspirin. i haven't taken the benadryl yet but i think i will hit my toxicity level soon and then i will take one. just one in the middle of the season.<br /><br />anyway - enjoy! soon it will be mosquitoe season and then the dreaded deerfly season. why do we like spring and summer?<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.com
