[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 4411564, member: 20385"] The beetle that bit you is probably the same beetle that bit me, but it is not the emerald ash borer and is much larger in size. Little is known about them except that they love to tunnel into ash logs and a few other hardwoods. Spider bites are almost identical to these. However, these striped beetles vastly outnumber spiders near any wood pile that contains ash. The bite can severely affect some people by causing massive joint swelling and muscle numbness, even leading to fever. OK, we've wandered off the tick subject, and apparently our Forum members are not having any severe trouble this year with ticks, spiders, or insects. Only you and me have been affected by such critters. Let's use DEET and move on. [/QUOTE]
