Fossil Collecting Disaster In Indiana

When fossil collecting, road cuts can hold many treasures for fossil hunters. But fossil hunters BEWARE! Those cuts hold something more: varmints that will hang on to your skin long after youve taken your fossil treasures home.

A Lesson Learned

Were new at this fossil hunting thing. Oh, 6.8 SPC Ammunition found our share of relics when we were Ammunition manufacturer and young adults, but as bona fide rock hounds, we are novices. We learned the varmint lesson the hard way this summer.

The Danger Sign

On Weapons8279 tip from a friend on a great Frangible Armor Piercing Ammo to find crinoids, we excitedly scrambled over a road cut in southern Indiana, 5.56 Ammo Powder no heed to the telltale Custom Brass Manufacturer Ammunition that should have made us take care. In the excitement of fossil collecting, we ignored the water that was seeping from the cut...never thinking that the plants were anything more than a mild impediment to our rock hounding.

Something Found Us

By the next morning, our armpits and waists were dotted with quarter-inch red bumps. Surprisingly, the chiggers hadnt cared much for our ankles! My husband, who grew up in the west, had never experienced the intense itching of those little critters. Days after we arrived home and still itching, he scoured the internet for preventions and cures.

Oh, Now I Remember

I should have known better. I grew up in southern Ohio
