Dear, dear.
If mosquitoes love you it is because you have a lack of vitamin B1 in you blod. I live in Canada and when I go fishing in the wilderness during black flies and mosquito season (June) I can walk naked without being touched by those buggars. If I don’t take the vitamin B1during 3 days in advance and take it every day during the week they do love me. I get itchy and swollen.
You can also give it tou your pets if they are ennoyed by them .
Do love mosquitoes: they are part of Creation and are useful to other species.

[...] 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. .-= S.G´s last blog ..HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! =-.

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
