Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole

• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

On the theory that the bugbites are causing a mild allergic reaction, you might try taking some Benedryl. If nothing else, it should knock you out so you can sleep.

Maybe ya'll ought to come up to WF in a couple of weeks and have 'em in person!!! :-)

Maby it doesn't get warm enough up there? Hmm, I think mebbe a call to our family bug man in is gonna help. He would know, He knows everything 'bout bugs. Well, at least I know he knows everything there is to know about wasps.

[Wneighbor]

She must not be as sweet as the rest of us.

[msdrby]

Say, that's not a bad idea. And you can see how round my belly has gotten!

[Overtaxed]

There were times when I thought I felt some bites on my arms and I squashed a few critters, but nothing left welts and I didn't have any bites on my legs or anything.

Hmmm....I did bring my own bed and bedding....

[RosieCotton]

I don't have welts...just a few bites. I've had worse. I'm not that used to getting bitten up in January, though...

[Wneighbor]

I think it's a plan then. But, we'll have to wait at least a week cause this next week is the one where I'm driving to Carrollton every day and back to Wichita every evening. UGH. Not looking forward to this. I don't know if I'll be conscious next weekend!

I brought my own sleeping bag...

I think maybe Bear is onto something with the idea that it is a mild allergic reaction to the critter bites.

Now that I think about it, it might not be animal, but vegetable. Anything out there like poison oak/ivy? For me... I don't even have to touch poison oak. I just get near it and I'll break out. That would explain the spreading, by scratching.

[Overtaxed]

I didn't seem to get as many bites as you folks did.

So you were out and about in the flora? I didn't see anything that looked like poison ivy or oak.

[Ramius]

Well... no, didn't walk around in da bushes anywhere. Just those along the beach, but all I saw there was sawgrass.

[Wneighbor]

I didn't wander in the plants. And I didn't see anything looking like poison ivy or oak. I checked out the plants pretty well. I also get poison ivy by only being in the vicinity. I would have snapped to it if I'd seen it.

Ya think it was the snake in the sea grapes?

[Ramius]

Note: A couple of hours after a few applications of isopropyl alcohol the bumps are significantly reduced and itching is gone.

[Wneighbor]

I gotta get off here for a while again. They may be trying to call and I don't know if Jason or Uncle Lynn has my cell phone number. Cheryl does - but she's the one *in* the emergency room.

[Ramius]

See ya later. Hope all is well.

[RosieCotton]

Keep us posted!

From past experience, the only thing that raises actual welts, for me, is bug bites. Plant reactions usually just give me rashes. Besides I don't remember brushing against any odd plants. Certainly not in a couple spots which are now lumpy...

Wish I had some benadryl.
