So you were the dish du jour? Anything that bites love me too. Always did. Now that I cover up with maxi dresses, I find I am somewhat protected. Covered from head to toe against the sun, I am soo protected, even this evening in the park watching my grandson playing the first game of the season, nil bites!

I sympathise wholeheartedly and remember the unbearable itch and sleeping with my head on a towel on the sink, with my legs up to my knees in cold water in the bath on holiday in an ex mosquito swamp which a hotel was built on! Yuck.

I tried lavender oil, citrine everything and found nothing worked, mind I was well then, now maybe they would bite and die and have more sense!

Poor thing. Keep those legs cool as much as you can, and do try not to scratch.

Julys topic was bites. Try going over that to see if anything may help in the future!

Best of luck mealfredo

That is what my mosquito bites look like! So painful, red, itchy, hot. This was in my 20s before my lupus was diagnosed, but as a kid did not have bad reactions at all. In hindsight it was probably one of my early sign of lupus.
