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.

We eat alot of fish. Wanna the reasons im sad im movin is i stocked the lake with crappie 3 yrs ago and they finally took off this year. Dang near every fish we pull out is 13-15"  .... Gonna miss those, lol... Brian

Cast net . 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.
 Seed ticks are the larva of ticks, chiggers are not seed ticks.

You may have herpes

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.
