不是这样的。你当初签合同的时候就可以加上full inspection satisfactory
contingency,
这样你在inspection以后无论怎样都有一次机会退出。
你现在这样大概是你当初签合同的时候被realtor唆使加了只有在
structural problems/wood damaging insects之类的才back out的条款
这样你在下offer更加让seller容易接受。
但是后面就可能会被动。

验。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera_coleoptrata
Unlike its shorter-legged but much larger tropical cousins, S. coleoptrata
can live its entire life inside a building, usually the ground levels of
homes. They are generally considered harmless to humans. Bites (stings) are
extremely uncommon, and the forcipules of most house centipedes are not
strong enough to penetrate human skin. Stings are generally no worse than a
bee's sting, with its venom causing redness and mild to severe swelling.

或者身上抹点驱蚊油吧。我一直用Bert's Bees:

这个要用手抹,有点油,不过就当护肤了。闻起来味道也还行,不像化学的那么冲。

你草长成这样,应该有两大问题,第一没有合理浇水,第二没有合理除杂草。如果是热
带草种,建议铺草皮,如果不是,over seeding 足矣。但是overseeding一定要正确。

Looks like a cellulitis, probablely infected from the insect bite wound. It
may also have the component of local allergic reaction from the bite. You
need see your physician. likely need to take oral antibiotics, may need
check Lyme titer.
You may use some over-the-counter ( OTC) antibiotic cream / and Benadryl
cream on the area while waiting for your doctor appointment. ( this

的幼虫在家里的不同角落,喷任何你觉得可能有的地方,不要喷衣服和床被,都拿去洗
,喷过之后要吸尘,如果不能每天吸,至少隔一两天吸一次,很多功夫很麻烦,但是是
可以除掉的,不要等他们大量繁殖了,到时候就更麻烦,人也遭罪,你不抓是很对的,
好的快,一抓就越抓越痒容易感染,好的慢,而且好了会有黑印。
