bitten by everything!!!!!

Hey la_chique i get bitten every summer by mozzies and they drive me nuts,especially in bed as its nice and warm i guess, so it itches more and try as I might I cannot stop itching them,sometimes to the point were they bleed,so ouch I do sympathise.Have you tried aloe vera as thats really good for relieving the itching.

I mostly get mosquito bites, but I know occasionally I will get a spider bite. I think mosquito's really like me. I was outside the other night for about 45 minutes and I came back inside to at least 12 bites on my lower left calf. My son had the same thing. Same leg even. My daughter only had 1 bite that I have seen and she was out as long as I was.

I know how that is. I have a couple of bug bites on my legs also. They are from either pesky flies when I am outside or from a mosquito.

la_chique, Throughout my life, I have been bitten by many insects and animals even. The most common being our ever present - mosquitoes which of late has been a threat with the emergence of the Aedes mosquitoes, responsible for dengue fever. So, I suppose we just have to be careful and not take things for granted. As for animals, I suppose it will have to be dogs where you will get nip even when they are my pets once in a while. However, I have to say the scariest one was a snake bite, which I did not even manage to see the type and you can imagine the medical follow-up which I thought would be the end of me. I do not about you, but I am fortunate that none of these nips had gotten me into deeper trouble. I do hope that you are not being bitten by bed bugs or ticks which really need some kind of medical attention and/or treatment to prevent complications of an infection. So, do be careful and I hope that you will have it checked out. Take care.

I was seriously thinking about this just a couple weeks ago. I was away on vacation and no one but me was bitten alive. So I come back home and the apartment was very stuffy, so my boyfriend opens a window and no one but me is bitten! Grrr, I get bitten just about anywhere by mosquitoes. I don't get why I am the only one all the time and everyone is never bitten and or maybe will only complain once but for me it is like I am sugar cane for the darn mosquitoes.

Ahhh!! I know exactly how you feel :( A couple weeks ago I went mountain biking with my boyfriend. It was near a small lake and it had just rained the night before and the mosquitoes were out like crazy. I hadn't even thought of bug spray so I was pretty much out on my own. Everytime I would take a break from biking, the mosquitoes would go on the attack. By the time I was done, I ended up going home with about 100 bites on each leg, 50 on each arm, and about 100 more on my back. It was horrible because at night when I wasn't being active, I would want to scratch the heck out of the bites. They even woke me up in the middle of the night because I was so itchy. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and the next time I went biking I sprayed my entire body-underneath my clothes and then on top of my clothes to give some extra protection.
