I got et up
Had my daughter at her crew practice so I took a walk an the nature
trail. By the time I got outta the woods my legs were itching and by Thur night I had obvious bites all over. Now, I am covered with itchy welts. YIKES, redbugs. I used to be immune to them what's going on here. I'd only get a few but this is major. Now I see why people hated them so much. Oddly, my entire family was immune to them but now I am not. |

Wonder if this was true? If it dried and flaked off, it'd still leave enough residue to minimize exposed bare skin. How did they bear all the bugs? Yes, woodsmoke does help, some but not enough. |
