I’ve been up since 3:30 trying to catch a bug so I can show my husband. I will look tomorrow for the next when he is out mowing the lawn. The real “itch” of that problem is hearing the blame when he sees it. Yes, we travelled together all the way through Korea and stayed in Chicago, but it’s still my fault. I kind of hope he’ll stay in our pole barn till I get rid of the beasts.

They've commented on the red spots on my arms and legs and I just tell them they're mosquito bites. Our landlord put screen in the windows a couple of weeks ago and no one else has "mosquito" bites, so I'm having a hard time keeping up the story. I try to keep my arms covered and try to hide them when we're all together. By the middle of next month, we'll all be going our separate ways when we graduate from school. Do I just hope the time goes by quickly and not say anything??? My problem is that I live in an apartment with three other roommates.

Stayed in two different friends' beds and shared a couch with a 100 lb boxer. Now that I read about it, I was asking for trouble. I'm taking antihistamines, applying cortisone cream and even washing my hair with special shampoo. But can I still be active? I'm a runner and can't imagine stopping my activities. Thanks for your forum. I'm in the process of apt hunting in the City and grateful for your posts. Darn bugs!
