It was actually Mt. Snow in Vermont where she was bitten. I was thinking New Hampshire because we had just gone to Mt Washington, and all the cool things around that area (The Flume, Kangamangus HWY) Really nice trip.
Hi Doc! Your kits are awesome, and I had built mine on your recommendations, I love the videos that include everyone because it really promotes that cool things are done in concert with loved ones.
My wife was bitten by Black Flies while in New Hampshire @ the Mountain Bike races and it crushed her. Nothing to fool with.
There are realy good kits you sell. I have searched high and low for a kit and thesse asre perfect. I live in the UK and hope to get one soon once's I have the cash as I just brought a couple of iteams for my large car kit. Following your advise.
Thanks for your reply sir! Appreciate the positive reinforcement. You're really inspired me with all of your medical videos. Continued success to you!!!
my mom and dad went up to the up last summer, (geocaching) and mom got bit really bad by those flies on the head, the bites swelled up pretty bad, the doctor said a lot of people have bad reactions to them, also, was that a groundspeak sticker on your daughters arm? if so, awesome!!
@SleepyFox79 - that was a Groundspeak tattoo on my daughter's arm . . . and yes we are doing some Geocahing in the area . . . stay tuned for our Geocache adventure!
By the way, the bug bites here are something to be taken seriously . . . the only one not being bitten is Matt . . . good change of events for him because he is usually a bug magnet.
She had a very bad reaction, lol. Those annoying bugs just make the bites bleed for me, but not swelling. Having some first aid equipment with you always comes in handy.
hey doc, its been a long time and i havnt forgot about you. i sent you a PM a few minutes ago and wasnt sure if you could get them or not. if not let me know because i have a story and a half for you. your friend anthony.
Well, you can't be anywhere near the Lower Mainland (Vancouver & surrounding cities), because I haven't been bitten yet. With the cooler & wetter than usual weather, it's somehow had an effect on the skeeter population. So, don't feel like your not welcome. Just come out to South Surrey, and have a glass of ice tea with me. Minus the bugs!
owww, hope the swelling goes down quickly. Reminded me of Kelsey's trip to get her multitool. Travelling can be risky. Hope you guys have a great remainder of your trip!
LOL.. good stuff Doc! You all definitely have some awesome summer travels under your belt. Good thing we don't have them Canadian bugs down here in AZ!! Safe travels
I had my feet swell up while I was in Jamaica just a few months ago.....I wish I would have had some silvadyene in my quick kit that I carry......my feet were so damn burned and swelled up that I couldnt even wear sandals for 9 days.......get better Kelsey!!!!
Beautiful Waterton, Canada and Glacier NP!! I'm jealous of your summer trip. I haven't been there since '94. Gosh..... It really has been a long time. Enjoy your vacation....
Dang bug bites! I will totally leave the BigFoot in Canada jokes alone, although I know Kels has a good sense of humor. Take care DOC and family! -Hawk
Curious about the choice of Stingease over The Mitigator. I have several remedies in my kit and just bought the Mitigator thanks to your videos Doc. Would Benadryl or Ibuprofen be indicated then for her swelling? Just want to make sure if I'm called into service I'm doing the right thing.
@dkrotine65 - we did use benadryl spray later in the day, as well as, a soak in an ice cold stream and ibuprofen. I grabbed the Sting-Eze (lidocaine) wipes quickly to help stop the itching. Your thoughts are spot on!
welcome to Canada. Biger bites in the northern part of province of Québec. Out here wee dont have moose or deer crossing sign, we warn the driver with mosquitos crossing sign.
