Well, for a while now we have noticed that Sarah has extreme reactions to bug bites. Several months ago, she got bit by some ants at school and they had to call me because it was so many and causing some swelling. Several weeks ago, she got bit by something on her ankle and it swelled up and turned an odd color. We always try to spray her down when we are at home playing, but do you spray bug spray on a toddler's face ... well, now we do! Here was Sarah this past weekend.
Poor thing got bit on her eyebrow. Her whole eye was almost swollen shut, but she was such a trooper. She tries really hard not to scratch, but you can imagine! She now asks that we spray her all the way down and she squeezes her eyes shut so that we can spray her face. Of the few of you who read this blog ... do you think that these reactions will lead to an epi-pen in our future? Meaning, if she's having these reactions to mosquitos, what about bees? just curious!
coincidentally, my friend Susan was making some "Bug-Off Spray" on this same day. be sure to check out her post here and also at Babypalooza this weekend!!!

It would not hurt to carry an epi-pen with you. A couple we go to church with have to carry one because their child has the same reaction to mosquito's and bee's. They haven't had to use the pen yet but they don't leave home without it.
