i must taste good

[MiniN]

its only just turned March and I already have 5 insect bites on one foot/ankle!

i haven't been anywhere near the countryside this weekend too!

why do some people (like me) get ambushed by bugs every year and some people hardly ever get bitten!?

I'm with you on this one MiniN! I seem to get eaten alive during the summer. I couldn't believe it yesterday whan I saw a bee in the garden. Thought it was a bit early for them.

i was once told its to do with hight blood pressure, but i rarely get bitten and my BP is often high.

Avon do a range of fragranced products called skin so soft or something, these arent a bug repellant but are supposed to work wonders and still smell nice.

You must have sweet blood as I think they can smell that.

Well just a thought.

You can hit me if you want to now.

not sure about the BP thing red - mine always comes up as normal and healthy.

they are clever lil bug'gers' if they can smell my blood.

i remember when i went to a picnic once and got totally bitten all over and everyone else hardly got bitten. i hadn't worn perfume or any smelly stuff.

not fair!

excuse me while i scratch my ankle!

I too get bitten a lot!!

It's not fair, being covered in red lumps and bumps, especially in the summer!!

I have heard about that Avon Skin So Good stuff and I am determined to get some this summer!!

I remember the dog getting flees when I was young and no matter how many people say they dont bite humans they blinking do. I used to have scars where I;d scratch so much, and I remember first caught one me, I cried my eyes out because only skanky kids have flees :-(

skanky kids and 4getmenots :)

Mini, have you got a cat or dog at home? or have you been near one this weekend? ankle bites will usually point towards animal fleas.
