Gnawing gnat breaks through skin Needle nose - spike now in Agile, light, felt no pain Taken blood, their feeding aim Bites now swell and Itch like hell Tiny vampire Eaten well. Scratching, itching - skin unwell. 03.09.21

The panic now is Lyme disease in Britain. Must admit, we're getting bitten by all sorts now. Might be insect revenge for all the swatting over the years.

Enjoyed this humorous write, Emilia. Gnats and mosquitos don't bother me too much but chiggers are a different story and we have a bunch here in Texas! Have a good weekend my friend. Hugs, John

I know of a ruin in the Southwest that archaeologists will never explore until a gnat remedy clears the area . . . . .

Have friends that live near marshes and they can have it bad there at times. Emilia.

Lol, autumn will soon be here and they can all take a hike. Plaster the bites with calomine. Tom
