I can hardly walk. Hurts like hell. Sorry I havent been on the board latley, Ive been trying to woo this girl. Anyway, just an update.

Hey hope everything is okay!

Good luck with the girl

What kind of bug bit you? eek.

I have a mosqutio bite if that makes you feel any better lolol.

Show her the bite. That should work.

i dont want to scare her off, its red, 85mm in diameter, and ooky. It was just a normal mosquito bite, but I scratched it, and its infected.

Put some Tincture of Iodine on it , it will sting like crazy but will kill any infection that there. Save you a trip to hospital anyway.
Regarding the new girl friend, whats her number and I will ring her and explain your problems!!

[DanTekGeek]

unfortunatly, nothing topical will help. it is already systemic. I had a fever last night and im getting it again. my lymph nodes are huge painful and swollen, and im allready on a massive dose of antibiotics.

Wow! You must have had something really nasty under your fingernails.

Good luck with the infection and the girl.

The girl will probably take longer to get a handle on, but a lot more fun.

next time.....the best stuff Ive ever found for clearing skin wounds and infections is something called 'Schreiner's herbal solution for livestock and horses' !!! i kid u not. i use it on my dog (coz hes like a goddamn horse!) and it is miraculous. then a while ago, an English visitor who was not able to use bug sprays or antihistamines asked why it wouldn't work on humans. we rang the manufacturers and they said (in a very southern drawl) that they use it all the time on themselves and it works just fine on humans but cant be sold as such due to FDA rulings. this is a list of ingredients.
aloe vera, comfrey, goldenseal, myrrh, cayenne and elder in an isopropyl alcohol base. ps. it stings like a M***** F*****. (their words not mine. lol). you hafta get it at feed stores and the like or ring them and find out where to get it. ph# 1-800-223-4325. aloha

i had a bite on my toe and was convinced it was freom a brown recluse. you would think that since i work for an exterminator, i would have realized it was just a mosquito bite...lol

i even went around showing my toe to everyone asking if they could identify the offending insect. no one could, although several people did tell me that if it was bothering me that much they could cut it off (the whole toe!) for me!!! lol
