I am intrigued by this little bug often referred to in this part of the country as a sand flea.  I can't imagine why it is that when it is finally pleasant to be outside in the beautiful Beaufort air, the sand fleas feast on every square inch of your body.  Then, when you retreat back inside the scene of the offense swells up and itches until you scratch it until it bleeds repetitively for days on end.  I have decided that it is my personal mission to discover how to live simultaneously with the Nosiums and still enjoy every moment of this spectacular lowcountry outdoor life.  I have heard many homemade remedies, none of which seem to actually work.  The latest remedy which I will consider trying just once is to mix one part alcohol with one part Avon skin so soft.  I will keep you posted as to how well or not this actually works.  In the meantime, I have learned how to do the Beaufort wave.  It looks much similar to swatting at gnats.  These gnats however, tend to bite and leave their mark often.  So if you see me on the street and you want to talk about real estate in Beaufort, South Carolina, I won't leave the windows down or stand on the porch too long for fear that I might be itching, scratching and bleeding for days.  Tune in next week for my tips for buyers of homes on Lady's Island.
