We found an old, dead stag Sunday. I had to handle it quite a bit moving it, and I had a bunch of small, itchy bites on various parts of my body within a couple hours. I found a flea while examining myself, and showered and washed all my clothes. The next morning I woke up with more, apparently fresh, bites. No sign of more fleas after thorough examination. I suspect some kind of louse or mite. I've done quite a bit of web-searching since, and though I turned up many articles on "deer lice", louse-flies, so-called "deer keds", etc., they mostly say these are found on deer in the southeast. No mention of them in CA. I'm not concerned here with ticks; I've dealt quite a bit with both sheep- and deer-ticks in my life. But this is an uncomfortable hassle, and I want to remedy it decisively. Has anyone around here (Seb) had experience with this?
