I'm an INSANELY miserable MUni idiot
Just shoot me!!!!!!!!!!! I rode a really cool MTB trail in the deep woods in Oxford Mississippi (just off Ole Miss campus) on Tuesday. I sell to the university and so I can schedule my time how I like. Oxford is 75 miles south of Memphis. I plan it so I'm done with everything around 3 o'clock and pull the MUni out for some really great trail riding. I wear b*ke shorts under baggy shorts that have lots of deep pockets for carrying water, trailmix bars, etc. Here in the deep south in September its hot and humid, so at the end of my ride I was wearing soaking wet b*ke shorts and had a 75 mile drive home. I stripped off the baggy shorts. I stripped off the b*ke shorts. I put back on the baggy shorts (which dry pretty quick) for the ride home. Problem is...I have bugspray right there in the trunk next to my MUni gear. I just flat out forgot to use it. I actually moved it out of the way to retrieve a wristguard before the ride. Later, I apparently rode through a thriving society of nomadic Chiggers who were now all invisibly partying on my baggy shorts. Suddenly I had given them free access to my tender region. I'm covered up with chigger bumps. (To those who've never had them: Chiggers kind of look like 50 - 1000 mosquito bites but are a million times more itchy!!!) I will *NEVER * ride those trails without spraying. If I do......shoot me again. OMG when will it stop? People stare when I jam both hands down my pants and scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch scratch. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I don't care what they think. Anybody know what to do after the fact? -- Memphis Mud - Student of GrandMaster 2T NAUCC 2006 in Memphis, TN. Beale Street. Graceland. Blues Music.

wow. that sucks. having lived in "the south" i know your pain, never did anything quite that bad though. got about 50 fire ant bites on one foot once though...that was bad, what you've got might be worse. use some cream with lidocaine (sp?) in it. -- markf - movie nerd stuck in iowa and unemployed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markf's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8102 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43494 |

They inject a saliva like substance to help them digest their meal. Once you have been bitten, the nail polish works to keep you from infecting the area from scratching more than anything else. Benadryl, hydrocortison, or a trip to the Doc, will give the most relief. -- bugman - Proud member of the UALW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bugman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3812 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/43494 |

T-Max, When you called to report the great ride you had I was SO jealous. However, I now think that I would prefer to be at work and continue to wait for the first freeze - in December!
