bwhahaha to the pee.... at this point i'd let you pee on it, lick it, put a tutu on it, whatever would make it feel better!
and YUCK to the hives, i've actually been getting those as well for the past month! they are random though and wicked itchy... can't figure out what's causing them though.... i have a sucky doctor so i haven't even bothered going in... BAH! hope yours clear up soon!
oh and i did the cortisone cream and have resisted the urge to pop it (eeeew), i had a whole attack on them on my foot this Spring ( i think it was) and learned that time not to mess w/ them.
I thought the more you got bit the LESS sensitive you'd become to them... weird that it's the reverse....
dh puts down the red ant shtuff on our lawn which works pretty well... i got this bite at some one ELSES house though. I need to sprinkle that killy stuff everywhere i walk/sit/stand/pee i guess!
