"Every bug that has ever been invented, is biting me this year."

Me, too! I've got bites from things I never even saw - causing welts and itching! I finally got some Benadryl cream (extra strength) to put on them and it really helps.

The one that really worries me, though, is the brown recluse spider (fiddle-back). I killed one in the house last week. Their bite is extremely dangerous and dibilitating!

Lurkers like me just love all the info here!

Hugs to nw_az_granny!

I killed a brown spider on the back of my neck last night, felt him going into the hairline or getting ready to have a bite.

We have a Wallapai Tiger bug here, that sends me to the doctor.

It is a cone nosed beetle, also known as the “Mexican Kissing Bug”.

For most bites, a spray of strong vinegar and water helps the sting and I like it with Peppermint Essential Oil added.

The vinegar spray is also good for prickly heat rash.

Keep lurking, we need you all.

Many hugs sent in return.
