So in our softball game last night, I’m playing left center and the batter hits a line drive into the gap. I run to my left and lunge at the ball in an attempt to make a diving catch. I didn’t catch the ball and I ended up doing a nice bellyflop into a fire ant mound. I got a few bites on my legs and a few bites on my stomach and arms. No big deal - I’ve been bitten by fire ants before.
Well, this morning I woke up and noticed that my crotch was kind of itchy. You guessed it - I got three bites on my scrotum. This hurts like hell and is very annoying as I sit here at my desk. This is like jock itch on steroids.
Whatever you do, don’t sit there and think about the irritating itch that just won’t go away unless you rich down there and scratch like mad. And don’t think about how it will continue to bother you more and more until you are able to scratch with reckless abandon.
And pretty much just give up if you have to go to a long meeting and that itch just won’t stop.
Update - I am not scratching - I know better. I did put some baby powder on it this morning after I showered and that seemed to take some of the sting away.
As far as the catch - it would have been one helluva sweet catch. I got the tip-top of my glove on it, but I was one step short…
Yep, the 'ole nutsack is a little uncomfortable right now. I’ll be OK.
