mactiger Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Must be something about you, Brian. I hardly ever get a tick on me at PASA. The few I have gotten have jumped on me near the "cigar bar". Chiggers are another story, though--no shortage of them there, either. Brood 17, huh? How many bugs we talkin' here, mon? Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Singlestack, BTW, thanks for the nail polish trick. Yep, it burned a little, but almost immediately ended the itching (although, somehow having splotches of 'sparklely purple' nail polish on my skin will probably get me some interesting looks at work today) That's too funny I normally use a clear polish. I sure hope you're borrowing this from your girlfriend/wife/sister, otherwise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Brood 17, huh? How many bugs we talkin' here, mon? I forget the numbers per acre, but I think they said that our neighbors in Indiana would get ONE TRILLION of these things in the State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 The last bridge before the Space City range is over Chigger Creek Somebody screwed up the marketing on that one, but it is a nice reminder to add bug spray around the old ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Every year I forget to use repellent at least once, and clear nail polish has to come to the rescue. I'm usually not bothered by insects at all, but chiggers really like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 I'm usually not bothered by insects at all, but chiggers really like me. I'm in the same position. Maybe you and I have something that the rest of the guys don't have..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Back when I was a little pup, I used to spend summers in the Ozarks. My uncle and aunt had a farm so it was fun to go there and take in the fresh air. Being born and raised in California, I had no idea what a chigger or tick was. Pulling ticks off the dog was always so much fun I too forgot the bug spray one day. Those little b@st@rds were vicious. Needless to say I never forgot it again.

jef Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Do you know how to identify the guy in Myrtle Beach as a paratrooper from Ft. Bragg? He's the one with no hair on his head, a third degree sunburn on his shoulders, and chigger bites all over his legs. He might also be inebriated. 82nd Airborne, the world's most physically fit drunks! HUAW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
