The dark side of FL
Posted by Fay on July 10, 2009
There are a few things we learned the hard way our first week in Naples.
For several days Bob had been working outside in the heat and humidity and he sweats like crazy. His t shirt would be soaked in 10 minutes. I kept reminding him to drink water but he didn’t drink enough and Sunday he felt miserable, light headed, no energy and we think it was heat stroke and dehydration. He learned his lesson. Monday he felt better and by Tuesday was fine.
We both know to watch for fire ants but our eye wasn’t good enough and we both stepped in fireant hills and got bit. Bob once and Fay about 8 bites and let me tell you they are nasty bites. Way worse then mosquito bites. We learned our lesson and no more sandles when walking in the grass. I found fire ant killer and will be using that. The hills are really hard to see.
