Did you know that there are about 1 million bugs to every person on the earth? For most of us we will never see but a small majority of our quota, but for people like me that's another story. My grandmother once told me that bugs like some people better because they were sweeter, I not an expert but I expect it is something in your sweat or your skin that attracts them. What ever it is, I wish I did not have it. I attract bugs like a giant bug zapper. I go outside, the bugs are all around me, in my eyes and trying to go up my nose. I wish it were as easy as saying it was my perfume,deodorant or shampoo, nope, nothing helps. Even when I cake myself with disgusting bug spray, they still find me. Big ones and little ones, so small they look like a speck of dirt, but their bite is far worse than their size insinuates. Bite, sting, pinch, I am destined to be a snack for a bug, as my husband and 3 boys, who hardly ever get bitten, look at me like I am crazy as I slap, swat and stomp away. I would never go to the amazon or a rain forest, as I am positive I would be eaten alive. We went camping in a tent once so the boys could experience the great outdoors, they had a blast and in one night I acquired two ticks bites,a thousand mosquito bites and something I couldn't identify with too many legs to count. After one night I had to head home. Its a wonder I have never gotten rocky mountain spotted Nile fever bird flu or something, I feel I am one dangerous bite away.... Just to clarify, I am not a crazy bug hater, I just have a extremely strong dislike of creepy, crawly, itchy, scratchy bugs when they are crawling and biting on me. Pray for me this summer that the 5 million bug quota that represents my family doesn't all find their way to me.....yuk!
