Have you got a fishing boat? If not I'd get one and learn to crappie fish. Blue gill and shell cracker will be on bed in the spring. Load the boat. I've got 3 gallons at home.

Cast net >:D. In the last few years tick bites have made me itch also for two or three months after I was bit. Three years ago at Pappy's hunting turkeys I got tore up by seed ticks. It was the first time I've had them blister up and ooze gook for a week. I still have scars from them.

Eddie, Is a seed tick the same as a chigger?
I am pretty sure I have this stupid arse virus.
Kind of a rant but hope you all can use the info.
Three or four years ago I went hunting with new camo pants and
got caught in the rain.
I broke out that night. It was 3 am so I went to the Emergency room.
The doc looked at me for a minute and said you might have shingles
if you had chicken pox as a kid. I thought it might have been some
 chemicals from China in the bargain store camos. lol
The nurse gave me a shot that knocked me out for three hours.
When I was stable and no blisters I finally drove home.
They sent me a bill for $1,285 bucks.
I have had several attacks since. Mostly several hours after eating
a burger when I am on the road. Venison doesn't seem to effect me
but after eating a generous portion of buffalo I had an outbreak.
When it happens, I get a horrible heartburn feeling then the itching starts.
Mostly the scalp, groin and back of my hands. If I don't take some Benadrill
the blisters will cover most of my body.
I now take the Benadrill as soon as I get the heartburn
and crash out if possible. When I awake it's like nothing ever happened.
I for the love of life cannot imagine how or why a tick could develop or
carry such a virus. Makes no sense.

Zuma it not a virus it's a allergy or sensitivity to a sugar ( alpha galactase ) that is in mammal meat. Do a google search of alpha gal allergy. You can get a blood test to tell you if it is the problem talk to your dr.

This allergy has only been known for a few years. Most doctors have never heard of it. You will most likely be more informed than they are if you read what's on the Internet. I bet a lot of folks have it and do not know what they have...

Thanks for straightening me out sa.

Marks, I'm glad I don't have to pay you $1,285 for your diagnosis.
