Not your normal Workers Comp Claim

Most of our staff went white water rafting about 10 days ago for our staff retreat and had a great trip on the Gully River in West Virginia.  Some of us did the whole 26 mile marathon including 6 class V rapids… what a awesome way hang out in nature!

But now some of us have been noticing we have little red bumps on our arms and legs…. It drove one of our staff members so crazy he had been calling the exterminator and treating his home for fleas. 

Today 3 of us figured out we all had the same thing and started to draw the conclusion that it was from our trip.  After comparing our red bumps we all figured out that we all had the same thing. 

Several went to the doctor and found out that its an allergic reaction to the river water… or some sort of bug bites.

So when white water rafting, watch out for the little critters or you might be enjoying the company of your fellow staff at prompt care.  Note to self… Your student ministry staff is only the best choice of guys to go to the Prompt Care with if you are willing to be rolling on the floor laughing… thanks for a great experience Chris.
