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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i presented this in another thread. he throws better to the out breaking routes the wr run, but almost nothing to the inside. that is half the options on a wr route tree. How do you run an offense like that?  even the outbreaking routes he throws are moonballs, that allow the DBs to catch up unless the wr is wide open. he has to throw with a lot of anticipation becuase he doesnt have the arm strenght to get it there if he is a little late. thats probably why you see balls behind the wrs.
