Mosquitoes....

..... are everywhere!!! Gah! I put on bug repellent at least three times a day. Once when I get out of the shower, again before picking the girls up from school, and a final time before dinner. I have to, or get eaten alive. And with the spray on, I STILL get eaten up. P Ui has this, actually I don’t know what it is. It’s pink, smells like vicks, and turns warm as you rub it in like icy hot. I have been informed you use this on bug bites, not on sore muscles. 

It works though. You slather some on and the itch goes away. The bites are bad at first and you think you might have to tear a chunk of your flesh out to get the itchy and burning to stop. Not to mention the bite swells to an alarming size. But after applying the balm you realize you are going to live and are extremely thankful you didnt take a spoon to your arm and dig the bite out. 

I was unfortunate to receive two mosquitoes bites while giving a lesson a few days ago. The office does not have the magic balm that sits in the little medical cabinet in P Ui’s house. These bites were the worst bites I have encountered thus far. In addition to itching, burning, and stinging like a bleepity bleep, they were easily the size of one and a half quarters. Maybe two. The picture below does not do one of the bites justice, and no I am not exaggerating.
