RE: Is it just me, or does anyone else notice this?

Now, I know that this may seem strange, but I have noticed that this has happened more than once.   We just returned from a a 5 day campout at our own little refuge in the woods in Northern lower Michigan.  It was VERY hot, VERY Muggy, and the bugs were just awful.   Now to get to my question.  We did have a hard time dealing with bug bites while there, but not anything too extreme.  But, now that we are home and have had a chance to take a really good hot shower, we ve noticed that we are covered with bites.  They are driving us nuts!!   Is it the shower?  Is it the fact that we are home and relaxed?  Could we have been having so much fun in the woods that we just didn t notice all those bites?   Has anyone else ever noticed this?  
 BTW, we did have a great time, went to the Pere Marquette to swim, took Spanky for her first river experience.  (She loved it.)  It was actually her first camping trip, and she ran wild in the woods til she was exhausted.(finally, a break for us)

some bites take a day or so to actually start to bother you...skeeter bites usually take two days for me....poison ivy about one day after the first blister shows...

Some of those bites could be chiggers.  Thet take a day or two to show up.

I m also one of the people that stand around saying " how come they re not biting me?"  and two days later they have to put oven mitts on me to keep me from clawing myself bloody.
 You mentioned a shower. My doctor recommends a hot shower for a few moments relief. If the itching is really bad I need a good hot one (the hotter you can stand the more relief you get) to get to sleep.

Here in southern Michigan on a lot that was completely shaded in 8 days of hot muggy weather I only got one small bite but my husband sprayed the lot once a day. We have had a lot of rain so I thought the biters would really be out.

CHIGGERS!  We specialize in them here in Ga.  (In Fla where I grew up,  they  called them " redbugs" .)  doesnt matter what you call them, they are an invention of the devil.   Are there chiggers anywhere  else than in the  southeast?  Billy the Biologist says they bite (burrow under the skin) when they are in  the larval stage of adult mites
