Three weeks ago, I was ruthlessly attacked by a horrendous hoard of Seed Ticks, left to suffer for many days from my allergic reaction to their teeny tiny little bites. Yesterday, it was poor Chuck's turn. The Chiggers got to him yesterday apparently, and he has been in misery ALL over his body.....and I mean ALL over! I got out the Cortisone Plus and gave him an antihistamine and he is doing much better....for now. But it will be an ongoing battle for awhile. It's amazing he hasn't gotten into them long before now. He's been very fortunate :)
Here it is almost the end of September and everyone is yapping about it being "Fall". It is currently 7:30 PM and 88 degrees! That is NOT Fall weather to this Yankee. Talk to me again in November. Real Fall hits here around Thanksgiving. LOL I'm sure we will get a couple of ice storms in January or so, but I will thoroughly embrace the 40ish temperatures before and after!!
Oh, and when I changed my template I lost my comments....which has something to do with my need to uninstall and reinstall the comment thingy I was using. I'll work on that another day.

Chiggers are no fun. I had my first experience with them when I lived in South Carolina in the 80's. Between them and the fire ants I was a mess.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better today my dear.
It no fun being attacked by those little creatures...no fun being attacked at all. Hope this season of nits/gnats/chiggers and all other biting things are over.
ReplyDeleteMy hives are currently peaceful but you never know when they will flare up again.
Well, darn! I thought I had my comments fixed last night so that the "reply" thing was working! Oh, well. Back to the old drawing board.
ReplyDeleteNo, Marna....I am not necessarily feeling better, but I am working on it. Thanks, Love!
Terri~I sure wish your hives would stay peaceful! What a pain that must be. We will have ticks, chiggers and fleas to worry about for a couple more months most likely. The biting is not over down here, for awhile.
Me commenting again. Is it here now?
