Hey Sarge, clearly you haven't been to SOUTH Florida where these little buggers run rampant! There is no remedy. I have tried them all...finally I moved!

Thanks for the "heads up." But, Indiana? Bloomington got good cafe con leche? Does the temperature chill to less than 50F there in the winter?? Hmm! Relocate?

When you find a little thread under your skin and pull it out you'll know what I mean . You think you're squeaky clean but you have all kinds of parasites on your bod at any given time.

The doctors used to think the kids were slidind blue and red threads under their skin. Now they don't think about it , it's easier to dismiss it.
