"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink." You can counsel poultry owners, but you frequently can't make them think.
TRUE!
 
Glad you're feeling better Sharron! Can you catch one of those bugs and post a picture of them?
no, they are so little and so fast that i can't catch one, been trying for about five years so i could take one to my dr. no luck so far, i know what they look like to me cause one was biting me on the arm one year and i had long nails at the time and i trapped it between the index finger and my thumb nail, it was a little brown beetle looking bug that was full of my blood, like a mosquito drinks blood and like a mosquito, soft bodied and squished to nothing but a blood spot, if you get bit, (i do) i get a little red mark, then it swells to about the size of a golf ball, feels like its on fire and itches three times worse than a mosquito for about two weeks. i usually go to the dr and he gives me a shot and prednisone to take , apparently i'm highly allergic to them , what ever they are, i'm not allergic to mosquito's, dog flies, horse flies , deer flies or any of the known things that i can think of,just theses, i'm suppose to wear insect spray w/deet when outside but you know how it is, you forget, last week i went outside to let my chickens out and thought i would spray and clean the inside cage out before i came back in, forgot about the nasties til one hit me in the corner of my eye and before i could raise my hand he had bit me , my dr isn't in on sat or sundays of course so thought i would tough it out, believe me, never again, will call my dr, i have his cell phone number, just hate to bother him on a weekend,ok, enough whining ( been thinking i might be able to catch one in a fine butterfly net but haven't tried it yet):idunno

I swell up from bug bites too...especially flies. I have lots of bites right now but it’s a variety of things I think munching on me. I’ve slept like crap all week due to it. They itch like the dickens and hurt too.

It's not a kissing bug, is it? Hope not!
