What were your worst bites?
Mine were, today(horrifying). I got bit on my ear , foot, toe, hand, and on my calf behind my leg. Where did you guys get bitten?

You can't get bitten if you stay inside on the computer/watching TV/playing videogames! :o :o :o

I think I've only ever gotten bitten on the legs while wearing shorts... annoying as HELL if you wear regular denim pants for a few days afterward...you can't scratch it well enough without rolling up your pants and looking like a retard.

As far as I know, fleas don't bite. They jump and suck blood.

How do you think they suck blood? They have to bite, Mixty. Just like lice, I guess.
Worst bite? Hummm... Probably when oneof my cats keeps biting my arms and hands.

I got bit during a trip to Biloxi a few years back. They were all up my arm, damn bites.

Worst bite would be not mine but what happened to my dad. Our dog ran far away and when my dad finally got to him the dog was dead tired...and well...a tired dog does not want to move so when my dad try to push him up by dog bit into his hand. He had holes in his hands where the fangs sank in. He healed but he got really pissed off at my dog for a while. oo

Are we talking about fleas, or flies? I've been bitten by flies alot, but... I don't have fleas, thanks. :/

I go to Hawaii once every two years, and the mosquitoes love to bite... especially after you eat one of Hawaii's delicious apple bananas (don't laugh, they're delicious! ^_^).
Now, the bite itself isn't bad, since the proboscis is sharp and thin- it's the actual bloodletting itself that hurts. x.x By the time you realize it, though, the mosquito's already flown away, and you're left with quite the itchy bite.
The worst case I've gotten was in first grade, when I ran outside for six hours without sunscreen or bug repellant; I got a sunburn all over my arms, legs, and face, and roughly 65 mosquito bites. x.x (Well, that's as far as we could count. My grandmother stopped counting after my arms, even though my legs had more than that. Each arm had about 25 bites, with the hands having roughly 7-8 apiece. x.x)
I couldn't wear denim for days. ^^''

Hurr... But he said "What were your worst bites?" Too general of a question to stay with... insects/parasites.

Been biten by fire ants, red ants, ticks, fleas, chiggers, and lice. Stung by hornets, yellow jackets, wasps, mosquitos, and bees. Come REAL close to being bitten by a cow ant (http://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/cimg344.html) but noticed just in time. Those f*****s are big. The joys of living in the country of central Texas XD But bug bites aren;t that bad when you get used to em. Cover up a bite in clear nail polish or somethin called "Chigga-rid" (Sold in pharmacys and stuff) can really help.

They don't bite. They peirce the skin with a proboscis. No teeth involved.

Clearly, sir, you know little about the state of world affairs then.

The bites haven't been exactly awful for me, but my bites have had an almost fatal effect on my brother.
Yes, you read right. MY bites almost killed MY brother.
I think it was when he was four. I had just gotten bitten pretty badly. My mom had prepared some of the stuff you put on the bites. She poured it up in a plastic cup, and I used some of it.
My brother came by.
My brother was thirsty.
My brother drank the stuff in the plastic cup.
I don't think I've ever seen my bro so:
Scared
Surprised
Grossed
anytime before. Or well, once he tore up almost the whole side of this torso, but that's another story.

I was bit by a dog once... does that count as a bite?
