Toad Hunter Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 ok- so (leaving the genitals out of this one) -being the season and all, and being the avid out door enthusiasts we all are, I am sure we have all had em... So I was curious, where would everyone say is the worst place to get a bug bite.. I always seem to be a buffet and this year is off to a "great" start. (must be all the expensive beer in my veins). I would have to say the knuckle.. any knuckle. you can never seem to get a "good scratch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 The worst is on your eyelid from a blackfly while you are sleeping in a tent !!!!!!!! The next morning it was like I got hit with a baseball bat !!!!! My eye was swollen shut and a big bruise it was nasty !!!! Took a few days for it to go away !!!!! And the itch was brutal ......

sauce Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Eyelid sounds horrible. Knuckle IS super annoying. Neck is torture. They always bite close to the collar. Which is constantly scratching the bites making them swell and get painfully itchy. Can't go shirtless when the bugs are thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 The horseflies always go for my toes when I'm wearing sandals, those bites kill! My dog got stung by a bee right on her bum a while back. Now all I have to do is make a buzzing noise and she jumps around wildly in a huge panic LOL!

NAW Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 There is one spot on my toe that gets bit at least once or twice a year. In the exact same spot. And my entire foot swells up. Not sure why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that painted a vivid mental pic for me this morning !! Dogs are so silly. My worst spot is behind the knee. Hard to scratch, and the skin is sensitive there and gets all irritated after scratching for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddler Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Middle of the back. That little spot where I can't seem to reach no matter how many contortions i do. muddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boombap Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I would say anywhere on the foot is bad. I have 3 right now on my right foot and it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 yup. eye lids, any knuckle and the feet. esp if it's deer flies targeting you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locnar Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 You said no genitals... well... fair enough. The worst is when you're droppin a load and black flies swarm your arse. The chafing... the horrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chafing... the horrors. Yup I have been hit by mosquitos down there and it's down right nasty. Every time you sit down!! I also agree about the knuckle though too.

Rod Caster Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 The area just above the belt and just below the shirt on my back. easy for the bugs to reach and sub-consious scratching makes it a real bad spot for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note, my dog got into a ground nest of yellowjackets a couple years ago & got the crap stung out of his face. To this day, his right side jowel droops, & his eye doesn't close all the way. Dam bees..I HATE 'em! Edited June 11, 2013 by Rodwrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 right now i can't tell where is worst! the past 2 weekends i have been absolutely destroyed by bugs while out fishing and i feel like my skin is on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Knuckle sucks. I got a bee sting on my hip once right where pants are supposed to sit. not a fun week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 on the head,for some reason the deer flies like to get tangled in my hair and bite on the head.A close second is the feet,when bit by the large black horse flies my feet swell,any swelling is an allergic reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 was fishing near the cut on the west ram last year and I swear, every deer fly musta been all over me. the feet were hammered, esp the second toe. unless it's absolutely searing, I'll always wear long sleeves, pants and socks now.

BillM Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Crawling up underneath the brim of my hat and getting me right on the forehead. Those ones itch like crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 For me its not so much where, but by what. Blackfly bites don't itch me too bad for some reason, skitters itch but go away quick. A deerfly bite on the toes has to be the worste. Especially once your back to work, and have to wear safety shoes/boots. Pretty hard to scratch those ones! S.

I kicked a hive once walking in a field, I ran all the while flailing away at myself. My buddy thought I was having a "episode". I only ended up with a handful of stings. For a long time after that I would "hear" a buzzing every time I walked in high grass fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlpaintballer Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am one of those lucky people who don't get any reaction, other than bleeding when the blackflies take a chunk. I don't even react to bee and wasp stings anymore. I was stung a lot as a kid, even stepped on a yellowjackets nest that was in a beaver lodge while fishing and had stings from my sock line to my underwear line because I was wearing shorts. It was 2 weeks before the swelling and itching went away, but that the last time I remember having a reaction to any kind of bite or sting.

aplumma Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Since all of the good places to get bit have been covered. I HATE it when you are drifting off to sleep and there is one stupid mosquito that makes a run at your ear and the buzzing noise gets really loud and then quiet.

Dave Bailey Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 On the butt, definitely, because it's hell trying to scratch it while you're driving home. Damned seat belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
