Flesh Eating Monsters of the South

Tuesday October 26

Sitting on my back portch taking a momentary break from work. It is hot and muggy today which makes it more difficult than ever to get anything done. Not to mention Nick's constant yelling and the sound of him dancing around inside the house to add an additional distraction to my day.

I wish I was at the beach. It's a wonderful beach day.

The neverending warm weather means dealing with my pesky little mosquito friends. Why is it that bugs love to bite me so much? The window in my room is broken so I woke up the other night in the midst of being eaten alive by a hungry hourd or buzzing flesh eaters. Not pleasant. The resulting bites on my arms and legs reminded me so much of my horrible San Diego bed bug disaster - thank you Clint Grounds - that I changed all my sheets and bedding and sprayed down the room.

Of course - since there are no screens in my windows - spraying down the room meant staying out of it for several hours. Which led me to the porch - which resulted in additional buggy bites. To say the least - I'm itchy.

Can you get sick from bug bites? I mean beyond malaria and west nile virus? Can you just get regular sick from it? Becuase I haven't felt well the past few days and maybe that is why.
