Is it dangerous to get mosquito bites, chiggers, fleas, and is best to stay away from camping? What about during the loading dose?
 
I have been on Remicade and Aza for a couple of years now. Not sure if Humira has extra precautions associated with it.....but thought I would chime in. When I first started on these drugs I was wondering similar things - bug bites, minor cuts, bruises, etc. I love to be outside in the summer gardening and landscaping.

I have had no issues with bugs. I have noticed the bites seem to swell a little bit more and take a little longer to go away since being on the meds. This summer the mosquito's were horrid in MN so I had plenty of bites even with repellent. I also got poison ivy this summer......:ybatty:

I would vote to go camping and enjoy the fall weather in the outdoors.
