We checked out the Villages, several of our friends moved there, in the winter it's great down there, so we went in the summer to get a feel for the heat, no way, too freaking hot and humid. Decided on Maine instead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Have some really weird bug bite or something on the bottom of my leg. When I came back from Wachusett the other day and got in the shower, I noticed a few small red bumps on my leg and two of them had a tiny black dot on them. They were way too small to be ticks though, but the one on the bottom of my leg has increased in sized a bit and is really dark red…even looks like it has a bit of black.

You need some air movement with the continuous 75-80+ dews and mins. I’m seeing 101 heat index in Tampa right now. Hard pass. I’m happy with HI below 85. Today is perfect. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Deer tick nymphs are pretty small. Could also be black fly bites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, make a paste with baking soda and vinegar and smear it on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago that looks like an infected spider bite tbh. Perhaps tick as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Yeah I’m not sure what to think and whether I should be concerned. I wasn’t walking in any grassy/forested areas…it was generally concrete. When we were leaving there were a few bugs flying around my leg there so maybe I had got something and the little black dot was a part of it. But for all I know these could have happened from home lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, who knows but tick bites definitely tend to be a brighter red than that one. I’ve had and seen many over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I will say, with regard to bug bites, I’ve never had a doctor that was super confident with what it might be, unless of course you actually saw or caught the perpetrator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Kind of a sneaky dewy day. 62-64 all day here. Spent entire day in yard , pruning all bushes , lawn . Lots of sun this afternoon. Crushed and I mean crushed by mosquitoes especially this morning in the shade and later in the day . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is brutal. Little Rock was even worse July '22. I think Arkansas is the worst overlay of actual air temp with humidity in the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still follow a meteorologist from the state on FB and yesterday he posted the worst stuff should be to the south so this tracks. Looks like the tornado warning in the NW corner of the TX panhandle is an active tornado. Seeing lots of active tornadoes in these storms this year.
