[...] it now in the mosquito free winter months it seems ridiculous, but all I can do is blame it on the yearly insanity I suffer due to these flying bloodsucking bastards. Anyhow, I felt something get uncomfortable in my [...]

I have the same reaction, and nothing helps. I have to sit with ice on my legs. I want to find a doctor that is doing research on this sort of reaction.

I have a theory, developed from two years worth of contemplation over my lumpen, misshapen arms…

We haven’t built up a lifetime of immunities to European mosquitoes.

The first year my Dutch hubby came to visit me in Canada, we spent three days in a cabin on Lake Superior in Grand Marais Minnesota. Lovely. Except that the air was thick with skeeters…and who got punished? My hubby with the same ugly welts that I get now. He was gobsmacked because he said he had never had a problem with mosquito bites. No immunity to North American pests, I say.

And sure enough, now that I live in Holland, I get the skeeter tumours. And Dutchie? Not a one.

Now that I have a theory, I just have to come up with a solution. Damn, the hard part….

They don't seem to bite me much this year for some reason,but I used to have the same kind of skin reaction. That sucks. The other day, I killed one who was right on top of my left breast. A male, I guess :lol: Zhus last blog post... Heart Of The Country

Try getting bitten on the eyelid! And of course it was when I was meeting my future inlaws for the first time:)
I actually take an antihistamine(Benedryl) when I’m bitten,helps take the swelling down…

The worst of these mosquito bites is on the fingers. I get them on my fingers. On the backside of the finger where it seems the skin is more sensitive. And I thought papercuts on the fingers were bad.. I agree with your idea of the plan to wipe out mosquitoes. I believe all the world would be a happier place without the critters. Fish, spiders and birds have already a million other choices for food, so why not? ;) Isabellas last blog post... New Amsterdam Cheesecake

I have a bite on my ribs!! What kind of mosquito goes for the ribs??? I had one on my leg last week like the one on your arm. I have no idea why my reaction to them is so bad, I've spent many a time in the bush up north and I got bit but nothing like this. I want my after bite! Melissas last blog post...

I also have reactions to bites like this. But, I have some crazy ass allergies anyway, like lavender. Ambers last blog post... My broken heart

Man we're like twins! I get the same ones and they get HUGE..Im so allergic to the bites that they leave almost scar like imprints in my skin! It takes forever for them to go away. It' so painful too. I used to get shots when I was a kid for it but man the dan things here are 100 times worse then what I faced back home. I got bitten a month ago like 8 times on the back of my legs and you can still see them,like a faded burn mark. I freaking hate mosquitos. Sonyas last blog post... Summer's End..
