According to the bites, they look like spider bites. They take over a week to heal! What can I spray or use that will not hurt my pond too much? Last edited by Johnny MAX; 08/18/21 03:35 PM.

Last lime it was the side of my stomach and on the back of my leg knee high. Also got a bite on my wrist a couple of weeks ago. None around waste band or socks. It is not chiggers. I have gotten into them before. Last edited by Johnny MAX; 08/18/21 05:40 PM. I work so I can buy things, give things & do things...
