Do boll weevils bite humans or are they poisonous?

Do Boll Weevils Bite Humans! I will begin by telling the story. Recently I few days ago I returned from a hunt in Amarillo Texas to my home in Tennessee. Leaving my equipment bag on a chair in my bedroom for a few days. For about the past three nights I have been waking in the mornings with new bites each night. Thinking it to be a flea since our Labrador sleeps with us, I inspected her very closely. No fleas! This afternoon while inspecting the bed for the evening, "guess what I found"! Yes a small Boll Weevil in the center of the bed under the covers that had been injured probably by the dog jumping on the bed. I identified it via the Internet as confirming it was a boll weevil. Assuming that he had to be the culprit! It would seem that due to a lack of possible moisture or food he chose me as a host and left some nasty bites looking like the worst mosquito bite or flea bite you have ever had, not to mention the itch unmercifully. Even after using after-bite and other remedies. Can't advise about the poisonous section of this question, guess I will find out! However the itch is tremendous! LT.

Only a rare sub-species of scarab. They were used as a form of torture in Ancient Egypt, because they are carnivorous, and burrow under the skin of mammals using their razor sharp front talons to cut in, and their hundreds of minicture rows of teeth to tear small bits of flesh from underneath the skin as it makes its way up to the brain, its target. They find the brain by following the circulatory system, (veins) upward. If you happen across this sub species of scarab, KEEP AWAY! And if it DOES enter your body, attempt to cut out IMMEDIATELY!
