Oh, I live in the remote jungles of southern Virginia. Home to hungry
ticks and chiggers and my running battle to live better through
chemistry to kill them all. The really GOOD stuff is expensive! The EPA
did a good thing. After 3 days being mixed with water, the stuff just
dissipates. That's enough time to kill the biters, but it doesn't
linger.
I don't have the guts to poke a dirk into my ear, but I do count myself
as an Scot-Irish. If I go on my own accord, it'll be with electricity.
They call me "sparky" for my tolerance of the juice. When I was a child
I used to stick paper clips into wall sockets just to get jazzed. Maybe
I need to see if that will blow out the blood clots now? I'll fire up
some bagpipe music first, and bite my lip. :) Ric
