Even the thought of some bug crawling on me gives me the heebeegeebees.
I don't even like looking at a picture of insects. EW. Even typing these words make me itch all over...
But still I like camping... go figure.
Sunday evening as we're pulling up camp and getting ready to head back to a reality that didn't involve a relaxing beach... I found an insect. Several insects. A whole nest in fact.... of fire ants.
I knelt in the long grass for about 10 seconds or so and that's all it took for me to be stung 17 times! 17 TIMES!!
My left knee is still itching like mad and is driving me crazy! Aarrggghhhh... (and that's not a pirate talking, but an anguished cry of pain!)
I think I need a pair of mittens to wear so I don't scratch absentmindedly.

scratch an itch. sorry, hon. any over-the-counter anti-itch creams recommended by your pharmacist?
Yikes! I'm not usually too startled by bugs but that gives me pause. Snakes on the other hand...I'd have been back in the car heading for the Holiday Inn!
But bugs do important things. Or so I remember hearing on the science channel.
