Good morning everyone! Happy Friday…the weekend has finally arrived! Got any fun & exciting weekend plans?
Our daily chat post today deals with those pesky insects that are terrible blood suckers known as mosquitoes! I have mentioned on this blog before how I am highly allergic to insect bites & bee stings and keep injections of epi here in my own for when I get bit or stung.
Well…I got bit up again this past Wednesday evening and currently have 7 bites on me that are the size of golf balls. This happened 3 weeks ago and doc had to treat me for cellulitis in my arm. They attacked that same arm again on Wednesday and my arm is the size of a baseball bat. Heading in to see doc again this afternoon and hubby is calling an outdoor exterminator to see if they can come spray our yard.
Are any of you allergic to bug bites and/or bee stings? I am completely miserable again and been up all night long sicker than a dog from these things.
We had a few giveaways close late last night so we do have winners to announce this morning. As always, we spend time every morning validating entries, trashing out the cheater entries and then randomly select a winner using random.org. We then double check that persons entry to make sure it’s legit and then finalize it.
Winner for the Jewelry Nanny giveaway is… latanya thornhill
Winner for the Sweat Unlimited DVD giveaway is… Lynda Thomas
Congratulations winners! Emails will be sent your way shortly. Have a great weekend everyone!
Oh, ouch! Hope that cocktail of drugs will get your arm back to its regular size. I’m very glad that I’m not allergic to much of anything and that mosquitoes don’t find me very tasty and leave me alone.
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time with mosquitoes and your reaction to them. I am not allergic, but my husband has reacted poorly to the bites. One natural remedy that helps to repel mosquitoes is Avon’s SkinSoSoft oil.
Thanks Jo-Ann!
I just got back…they had to give me some IV Benadryl, Zofran, Steroids and some type of anti-swelling drug in my chest IV. On top of that, I took a pain injection right before I left so now I am sleepy, can’t think straight nor see straight. Sigh, going to be a fun day..>NOT
