These stupid sand gnats we have out here. Practically invisible, and all teeth. I think I'm allergic to them. XP
I was chewed up by them over the weekend, doing yard work. Now I'm covered in major bug bites, and I have to take benadryl just to make them stop itching. Fricken' pills, just for some bug bites. There's just something wrong with that. Doesn't help that benadryl knocks me out. X_x
Sadly, I've tried everything else from witch hazel to Gold Bond. None of it works. Gold Bond makes me smell like menthol all day, which makes me very sick to my stomach (I hate the smell of menthol...). Witch hazel... worked a little better, but only gets rid of the problem for about five minutes. Meh.
If only there were some way to just destroy all those little bugs. =[ My dad keeps telling me that getting bit by them is good for me, and it will help me get used to them. Easy for him to say, he's not allergic to bug bites.

In other news, we had to dissect things in Biology today. Ew.
Lucky me, I got stuck in the group where the only brave one of us was an idiot, and completely mutilated our critters. X_x I wanted to take over... he was pissing me off that much. But I can barely stomach that kind of thing while watching, much less actually doing the cutting. I ended up leaving and spending God knows how long out in the hallway, breathing real, formaldehyde-free air. XD I think it's that chemical crap they soak them in. The actual cutting and stuff gets to me too... but not as much. I'd probably be able to handle it if I didn't have to smell it.
But for now... I just want to kick that guy's a** for sticking half a cut up crayfish in my face. That b***h. I should've thrown up on him or something.
