Response:
Hello everyone, I went to play golf today. The first time in about three weeks. On the third hole I was looking for my ball and brushed against a cedar tree. I was attacked by wasp or yellow jackets. Got bit twice. Once on the finger and once on the neck.. I am okay, but I am a little bit allergic to wasp and so I came home early. I am thinking now that it was a yellow jacket as I think that with the wasp I would be having more pain and the areas would be swollen more. A mosquito bite on my face can cause my eyes to swell shut. I was a little worried about the sting on my neck. Shoot my finger hurts worse than the neck. I took my benadryl and took a nap. I am just dissappointed that I missed golfing. Oh well Sunday is almost over. Have a great evening. Cindy
Response:
Cindy, Gee, I thought that I was alone with all the swelling that even a pesty little mosquito causes. Was always afraid of a sting of a bee.wasp, yellow jacket because of it. Discovered that they hurt like the dickens and the swelling from a sting on the hand caused lots of swelling and even my lymph nodes in the armpits swelled. So I sure can sympathize with you. Hope that the benadryl continues to keep the reaction to a min. and that you enjoy what is left of this Sunday. Hugs, Sherry

Response:
I have discovered that many on this group have the same reactions to insect bites and stings. Also a lot of other "problems" we seem to share or have in common that aren’t listed as part of the Lupus.

Response:
I’m one of those people, too. A recent fly bite (not mosquito, but housefly) made my whole shin/calf turn pink and hot. Mosquitoes … spiders … chiggers … fleas … deer flies … fire ants (from the Deep South) … anything of that sort will do the same and more. Wasp and bee stings are a couple of rungs higher though I have not experienced a life threatening reaction and hope I never do. This happens to no one else in the family except my teenage daughter and myself. (All of us have pollen allergies, though … year round.) CP "J Rogow" <JRo…@Newsguy.com> wrote in message

I think that I am going to be fine. But this sting on the tip of my pointer finger is driving me crazy. The tip of my finger is red and swollen. But I’ve been putting stuff on it and I will be okay. But I will keep my benadryl handy. Thanks Cindy "Beverley" <pottings…@sybercom.net> wrote in message

Just remember this gal keeps chooks in her backyard. Which I believe are chickens but not entirely positive. We both speak English yet neither one of them belongs to the Queen.

Response:
Lyndal My brother’s having an awful time for month or more now. E-mailed me. Some infestation at work. I’ve just spent last 24 hours or so trying to find on the ‘net what it could be. I’m really concerned, about the way he’s treating it, spraying chlorine on his legs, clothes , arms, etc, because it’s so distracting at work. Latest is he reports headaches (which is very unusual for him). Ever gotten headaches from bug bites? I guess I’m concerned that this new job (and the added stress of these bug bites which turn into sores) are going to send him into a flare. And since he’s not yet been diagnosed with Lupus, he (and his doctor) wouldn’t even recognize a flare. Thoughts?

That is interesting...and so gross!!! What is really odd with all our bite reactions, I got bitten by a red back spider last year (nasty little buggers, can be fatal for babies or dogs, make adults pretty sick) - and I had a usual reaction from the envenomation - fevers diarrhoea pain sweats glands up etc. but it was all textbook - no over-reaction no need for antivenom and I was OK in 24 hours...Very typical and unexciting!!

Response:
I’ve sat through plenty of entomology lectures to pick up on a few things – so I have lots of normally useless but interesting information on bugs in my brain. So here goes my version of why we react to so many insect bites/stings. The biggest thing is they are dirty. And our skin is dirty to they go plunging that darn stinger in us and who knows where it was last? So all kinds of bacteria, fungus and just plain dirt gets dragged into the lower layers of skin. Most stings and bites such as from the mosquito contain a chemical that prevents coagulation of the blood. If they didn’t inject that into their prey they would never be able to pull their body part back out. Some of us "lucky ones" are allergic to the chemical they pump into our bodies. Certain ants have the same basic chemical which is excreted through their mouth parts as bees have in their stingers so that is why many of us have nasty reactions to ant bites. The main difference is ants insert much less than a bee. But enough ant bites could produce the same violent reactions as seen with a bee sting. The common red ant IIRC is closest to bee venom. Now, this is really gross but do you know why fly bites are so bad and often cause severe reactions? They are probably the dirtiest of all the bites. Flies do not have intestines or an anus. They eat, digest their food and what is leftover is vomited back up. That is the cause of "fly spots" on windows, lamps, etc. This feces laced with a whole lot of digestive juices are vomited back up just prior to taking a bite. This way the bite is slightly pre-digested so you can imagine how strong these digestive juices really are. So we get a chunk of skin removed and all around that hole in our covering is fly poop and digestive juices. And only god knows what the fly was eating before he took a bite of us? Dog poop, old garbage, squashed slug, etc. Humans tend to think of themselves at the top of the food chain when in actuality we are just food for flies, and other insects. Their job is to recycle us back into the dust from which we came. Bev "CSP" <csper…@juno.com> wrote in message
