Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I am more paranoid about fleas.
And I'm getting itchier by the minute just thinking about this.
I was out in the backyard for 10 minutes before dinner last night, and my legs got devoured by (I think) chiggers. I was so itchy I wanted to hack my legs off. I freaked The Boy out by using the hairdryer method of stopping itching. ("Are you BURNING the itching away?!?")

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh god. what is the powder that you can put on to keep chiggers off? I remember every house having a sock full of that in a tin can out the back door.
eta - reading up that is not true.

you can put clear fingernail polish over the bites to kill the chigger.
Cortisone cream, 2 benadryls (which also helped me sleep well), and the hairdryer trick took care of the massive itchy.
And to prevent it in the future, I just won't ever go outside again. I've heard I can have everything I need delivered to my door, courtesy of Amazon.com, the Apple store, and UPS.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Somebody put clear fingernail polish on me to stop a mosquito bite itch, but it didn't stop the itch. It did stop me from scratching because it felt weird, though, so I guess it did its job.

Oh, god, chiggers or whatever comes out of the lawn after dark, I'm either allergic to them or the diabetes makes their bites more horrific than usual. But if I stay on concrete after dark, I don't end the summer with nasty wounds around my ankles.

We used sulphur powder when I worked on the survey crew and had to clear brush. I can't remember how well it actually worked though. They don't tend to get to me too badly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
