Being in the woods has many wonderful benefits, many great wonders of nature and the cleanness of the air. But there is a pitfall. One that I had forgotten about and the weather was just perfect for them.
CHIGGERS. (aka Noseeums)
Not a big deal or anything to worry about but the repercussions of these tiniest of insects is misery. They create a tiny feeding tube that allows them to eat dissolved skin cells and hours later we begin to itch. We brush them off or kill them in a shower or bath but the damage is done. It can take up to 10 days for these to heal. Thus in the meantime calamine lotion, hydrocortisone cream and/or antihistamines are needed.
Well after having the itch become unbearable today I grabbed a tube of AVEENO anti itch cream but it did not seem to help. Then I realized that my 24 hour antihistamine was 4 hours overdue. Tell me it is going to kick in soon.
Oh well....let the memories fight off the itching.
