Blood Sucking Pirates
( 23 Votes )

Way back in the days when I was a lad of 10 to 12 I went on a camping trip with the Boy Scouts to a camping place in California.  Once we got there we were greeted by a roving band of blood pirates. They surrounded us and ransacked our bodies for our precious cargo; our blood! I was bitten mercilessly. So our time fulfilled, we all went back to our regular domiciles where upon I became ill.   It acted like the flu only it grew worse.  I became very ill and had to spend a short day stay in the hospital. The doctors scratched their collective heads but not my bites. Then they found these giant horse pills that they gave me and boy, did that get a reaction!  After a couple of weeks I became healthy again and now I have made it to the ripe young age of 55! I hate mosquitoes. Hurray for Don't Bite Me! patches!

If a bug bite makes you ill, becomes inflamed or infected, see a doctor immediately.
