Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 This is a test on line Chonette I can only tell by my experience. I had never had any problems with bites in my life, just normal bites but nothing to worry about. Then some 16 months after diagnosed I went to Brazil and one afternoon doing some heavy gardening work near a pond I was bitten by mosquitoes, no more than in the past, however this time my bites got very itchy and got very bad, I consulted the Chinese medicine doctor and the pharmacy, It took over a month of intense care to get rid of the bites, I was left with marks all over my legs and arms for months to come even after the bites had gone and all the skin was clear, the dark marks were there and looked so bad even if I ignored them, people always made a point to comment, in the end I wore long trousers and covered my arms when I went to the town. I can only think that something in my blood had changed from the past and the bites had a stronger effect on me. I am going to Mexico in July for 2 weeks and I have been told by my family and friends that there are no mosquitoes where I will be so I am relaxed but will take every possible precaution with protective lotions as I do not want to go through the problem I went in Brazil, even I know the climate is different and the areas I will be in will be clear of mosquitoes.
