I encountered them in Texas, when I attended college in Dallas for a short time. Just walk through the grass, and these tiny bugs (larvae, I think) burrow into your skin. They die, you break out in bumps and itch like you've got chicken pox.<br /><br />Nasty, nasty, nasty ... those RVs are looking better and better. ;)<br /><br />xoxoKelli Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134057726661907735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-57724396855274905992010-01-25T10:54:10.649-05:002010-01-25T10:54:10.649-05:00Thanks for the welcome hug, Paula!! :)

I once had the horrifying experience of trying to wilderness camp in an infested area - they jump out of trees and squash themselves on your head. Yuck. My friends and I ended up packing up our stuff and hiking out in pitch darkness - no light whatsoever except one flashlight - rather than stay there being bombarded.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-1451354568923063052010-01-25T09:01:46.077-05:002010-01-25T09:01:46.077-05:00How very cool, Jennie!
