Lance always seems to get bittin by the sand flea's. Sometimes worse than others. Me not so much i feel them sometimes but skin does not react.
I have always said me blood to rich for them. But one night I woke up with my leg really burning and and feeling numb. It got so bad I had to get up
and investigate. Woke Lance up and he's like what's going on. I say something bit me. The sheets we're thrown back and a bee flew up and towards
the light. OK Lance kill that sucker. So I say check them sheets before you retire for the night. I guess that little sucker clung to the sheets while
drying on the line.
Something happened this past summer. Again I woke up with myself on fire, a lot stronger feeling than ever before. I felt like I had been branded.
I put a cold cloth on it with no satisfaction. I had to go back to sleep, as I had a Family Reunion the next day... 2hr drive. I got through the day ok
and it was so much fun seeing everyone. Lance cooked up Jerk chicken...that was hit. No one really wanted the dogs and burgs. Well back to this
now very red spot on me. Drove back to where we we're camping and by night fall it turned into a blister. Lance says you must of got too close to the firepit, no man me didn't. Lance came up with another solution I am allergic to different metals. I was wearing a Tshirt with metal rings maybe
that's what did. Ok so he had me convinced that the metal was what did it. A week went by and it just got worse and worse....It looked awful!
Some say it looked like flesh eating disease. I had a friend come by she right away said that's a spider bite. You need to put poltice on it. Well
what the heck is that and she told me. After she left I researched and researched some more. All the evidence points to the Brown Recluse
Spider. I suffered with this for almost 3 months. I really thought I was going to have a gaping hole with the size of the scab. Well no hole thank
god. But I got one nasty scar that I will have to keep out of the sun this Feb. So if you see me on da beach with something unusual stuck to me
you know why. Just don't know what me gonna put there.
I wanted to share this to keep people aware. Nobody thought they're was this spider in Ontario. A week or 2 later someone that was camping
beside us took a picture of this very spider. So they are here! To identify they are brown with a violin shape on there body. Yuck! I always
hated spiders now I am just darn paranoid of them.
