anyonelese find they attract more bugs, insects , bees?
i swear if there is a spider in the house it finds me.....today there is some odd type of bug lurking in my room......the cat is trying to kill.
I need to get a vacum after these things.

Last evening, I was standing outside talking with my SO and two other people. I mentioned getting bitten, and nobody seemed to relate to what I was talking about.
When I came inside, I had three new bites on my legs.
Even though I actually saw the rash and tick 9 years ago, I know I've had ticks on me a dozen or more times in that many years.
I'm an absolute bug/ tick magnet.
It makes me think that a lot of this must be something in our body chemistries.

thanks for sharing andie,
when i was younger before i reached my teens...i was the only one besides my dad in my family that did not get mosquito bites. i found it very very odd.
one summer i was at a park, thought oh i wont get bit.......i had over 60 bites all over my legs. hmmmm and i usually would get a sore throat with those bites.
ever since then i get the bites even sitting in my house....they find me.

Oh gosh, I have to wear bounce sheets to avoid bees when I'm outside riding horseback now.
I've been stung by bees twice this year alone, and don't know why the bugs seem to target me, even at home.
I thought it was just me. I also now react to insect bites, stings, with anaphylactoid-type reactions. I have to carry antihistamines and an epi-pen now. I was stung three times in my life before lyme and never was allergic to anything.
But now even fly bites set off mild reactions. I suspect its because the chemical pheromones we excrete actually work as an attractant now, even if its for the insect world.
An interesting phenomena happens also with pesticides and worming medications for our animals. I cannot even hold them in my hands because they also set off reactions. So anything coming within the energy field of the body that is infected with lyme disease, is either violently attracted (like bugs) or repelled (like the pesticides) according to the whim of the Bb critters.
That's my official unofficial viewpoint, but I am not a doctor, I just look great in a labcoat.
