Just put clear fingernail polish on them, gone in a day. Can't say I've had them in the gooch though.

Common misconception. They are normally gone by the time they start to itch or the skin has red spots.

The bite and use a chemical that breaks down the flesh, they eat the "rotting" part, then fall off. After they are gone they start to itch like crazy. Many in the South think that they are burrowed into the skin and the polish will suffocate them. Not true.

Not much you can really do, just try some hydrocortisone cream.

Interesting. I will say though, the polish for me at least, helps with the itching. Part of the reason they go away (in my mind at least), could be that I'm not scratching at them when they're painted up and it allows the skin to heal.

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      And again, the TLDR of the above is........ My expectations for T-Mac's rookie season have nothing to do with him and more because of my expectations for the rest of the WR room. I think his 2nd season when we then lose Thielen and replace him by just shifting everyone else up a spot in the pecking order and replace him with an end of the bench guy, is when he explodes for a huge yardage season. XL and Coker wouldn't make a good 1/2 combo with Thielen in the slot.  But T-Mac as the 1 with Thielen in the slot has the real potential to make XL/Coker an actual elite 2/4 combo.  Drafting T-Mac drastically changes the potential impact of those two, if anything, that's the biggest thing taking him did to the offense. Because honestly, how many teams have a 3rd and 4th receiving option as good as XL and Coker?

      good one though it’s really no joke. I know a few friends and family members that suffer with this condition.

      There's nothing normal about a 73 year old dating a 24 year old and a wildly successful NFL coach going to the college level in his twilight years is unprecedented. Yeah, raving success or absolute clown show. We'll see how it plays out on the field but this is why I was always very apprehensive about going after Belichick. The odds of it going the clown show route seem to be increasing by the day.
