Yep, my reaction is not nearly as bad as the first time. I used to have a major adrenaline rush after a bite and would get all antsy and weird! They still itch like the devil though...
So if you guys catch all the tabanos in SacBe, will you be loaning your trap out to us in Paamul?
Just what do you do with them after you trap them, exactly?
EDIT: And they're more like what we used to call sweat bees back in Ohio... tiny little things with a big wallop!
