my mosquito

bites look exactly like

chigger bites.


and they don't burrow under the skin.

and i still hate mosquitos but i hate chiggers even more.

  1. The trick is to put nail polish on the chigger bites. It suffocates them.

    deer flies, fire ants and no see ums.

  3. And I forgot to add you can burn off a tick with a hot match. Make sure to get out its pincers too.

    My grandmother would hold me down, burn off the tick, and throw it in toilet -- where it would make a singing noise from the heat.

  6. there are no bugs here. I forget about bugs. although i did see mice running around the bart track in mission last night. Can you hear cicadas though? That is a cool sound.
