larva of a mite of the family trombiculidae
11:06 AM
chigger red bug harvest mite whatever you call them, they produce the same result; really horrible bumpy red marks and the crazy insane urge to rip your skin off with a sharp object! susan and i did a portrait session at maclay gardens and climbing through the underbrush is where i picked up the bastards. actually, i think there was only one of the mean mother-fuckers that stowed away under my clothing because there is a perfect path beginning on my right butt cheek, traveling around and up over my hip across my belly, down my left leg and up to my left butt cheek, then across my back circling up to my right breast!  i attended a party last night and got many suggestions for recovery:-benadryl ointment -hydrocortizone -steroid shot (wooo hoo maybe that would help with the weight lifting!) -oatmeal bath -oatmeal banana honey poltise -calamine lotion -fingernail polish -men's deodorant ("the green one" hm?) -lime juice -alcohol -antibiotic ointment -hot wax that last one caused a huge stir in the party attendees and they allll got up like they were ready to drip hot wax on me at that very moment! i baaarely escaped.
