blackfly bites (really bad)
mosquito bites (actually not too terrible… they are out of season)
horsefly bites (sonofabitch!)
spider bites (ouch)
ticks (removed from my back with matches and tweezers)
ant bites (red, fire, carpenter but I don’t think the black ones got me).
stinging nettles (ouchie! …but the suffering is brief).
poison ivy (all over my knees in big water filled blisters. I took a boiling hot bath in old tea bags last night and that stopped the itching for almost an hour. right now it’s soooooo itchy).
