Wow, that is freakish...

The title to the post is the response often given when someone sees one of my bug bites. You know how some people are allergic to nuts and they have an immediate reaction... I am that way with mosquito bites. The instant I get bitten it starts to swell, my sister is the same way so maybe it's genetic. On saturday night I was outside around 9:30pm for maybe 15 minutes, I got 4 bites, and now my elbow forearm looks like someone strapped a flesh colored tennis ball to it. I think this allergy might actually be kinda serious, if I get enough bites (10 or so), I get light headed, really really tired, and if I am just lucky enough I throw up (I know just a little bit too much information). Last summer it wasnt humid in Texas, it was 10,000 degrees- too hot for any life form to survive without air conditioning (dramatic I know), but this year it isnt quite that hot yet, and it has been humid- perfect weather for the bird sized mosquitos that live in Texas. Yay for bugs!
