Bugs

During certain times of the year, we are hit with a bug invasion. It has something to do with the temperature and the slowing of the rainy season. It is horrendous. This is what we have going on...

1. Mosquitoes - they are everywhere. Hey Amy... mosquito bites are another thing that makes me irrationally angry!!!! I get so annoyed and frustrated by them... irrationally so!

2. Ants - big ones, little ones, medium size ones... they are everywhere! A few days ago they were all over the shower curtain.

3. Cockroaches - BIG ones. I never see the little ones. These I can't stand most of all. Tonight one sauntered out in the living room while we were there like he owned the place. He didn't even wait until it was dark to come out. He was promptly obliterated. Another one made an appearance in my closet. I was reaching for a pair of pants when I saw one scoot between clothes piles. Gross!!! How am I supposed to reach in there for something ever again?

4. Nairobi Flies - small ant-looking bugs that leave an awful burn if you smash one on yourself. It's hard not to smack a bug off you when you see it, but with these you don't want to do that. Toothpaste is a quick and easy antidote to their poison. However, if you don't know you have smashed one on you (like while you were sleeping), you'll end up with a huge, painful burn that takes weeks or months to go away.

5. Mango Flies - I saved the worst for last. These tiny bugs burrow into your skin and lay eggs. When the eggs hatch, you end up with a worm under the skin. A pimple/boil type thing develops and you have to squeeze the worm out. Horrible!!!!

Anyone up for a visit right now? Karibu!
