I like sitting out on my porch late at night when it's dark and quiet, but the little biting bugs have gotten so bad lately that I'll have to give it up for a while.

Well, that about wraps up #SolarPunkSunday. Next week I'll be posting about #Homeremedies for #BugBites and other issues, and will also focus on #DisabilityInclusion in #SolarPunk. I might do another location focus as well. Keep your eyes out for a poll with some possible locations. Boosting related posts and re-posting a few things. TY to everyone who participated, especially @MaQuest !

Yesterday I discovered alcohol can provoke histamine.
The inadvertent research process involved a day-old bug bite, a tiny glass of wine (seriously, 3 tablespoons max - I'd hate to think what effect a standard glass could have), some very intense itching, the development of a hypothesis, and the discovery that said hypothesis was well documented by others more professionally employed in the field.
My foot meanwhile, concerned lest this important scientific connection be insufficiently backed up by field data, continued to itch fiercely.
Conclusion: avoid alcohol entirely until bite is gone gone gone.

If you think mosquitoes are attracted to you from some reason, you might be on to something. Researchers have found that the pesky insects gravitate toward certain body odors while avoiding others. Axios tells us more, including some tips to avoid mosquito bites.

On Sunday, we met up with some friends, along with our granddaughters, for a few hours of park & fishing. It was real nice, except for the no-see-ums & the fact I forgot the bug repellent.
I now look worse than I did with measles or chicken pox & the itching is right up there with the chicken pox. I'm miserable & taking benadryl to help. I haven't had to use it much in the last few years, so it leaves me sleepy.
Misery is my name.
