Mosquito Buffet, damn them!

We spent quite some time in a mosquito infested mountain. Literally, you could look at your arms and legs at any given time and see between 2-10 mosquitos. I got lucky and only managed to get 3 bites.

Last night, I was not so lucky.

I woke up with over 30 bites, nearly 40, on my body. Yes, you heard that right, nearly 40 bites in one night.

Bed bugs? Nah. I've killed 7 mosquitos in the room in the last 12 hrs. 3 last night in the bathroom during my shower.

I became a feast, a literal feast. I took some pictures to help you feel sick. I could only get so many in the pictures. I also did not take pictures of my shoulder (3), wrists (5), jawline (2), forehead (1). I think I may even have one or two in my hair!

And I am proud of myself because I have managed to not scratch! Oh my god is it taking everything in me not to, and I know i've scratched my wrist a few times, and have scratched what turns out to be bites when I didn't know until after I scratched (they were hidden). But I've done well. Which makes me happy, I didn't want to have to cut off my nails.

I am taking benadryl to fall asleep. The itch is enough to make you want to jump off a bridge. Don't worry, I won't, I just want to. it would be easier...

PS Ignore the pasty white legs. Haven't gotten any sun on my legs, unfortunately.
