Well, duh. It got pregnant!

No seriously, apparently I have a severe reaction to a NM
mosquito(s). I've mentioned this before I think, when I thought I was getting eaten by poisonous spiders. One mosquito bite on the foot can have me limping around for a couple of days, and unable to fit into any shoe I own. (the swelling, then the grotesque sore that develops) This time it was 2 bites, one on the foot and one on the leg. Massive swelling, itching like mad, and burning. I lose the use of my foot so well because the swelling makes it less bendy for walking. I am getting used to that, but this time the other bite inflamed my leg and shoots of electric pain would run up and down my leg while walking or standing. So I kind of gimp around until it is over. No known cure for the mosquito saliva allergy......I'm waiting to become immune. It's been a year and a half but I have hope. I like to gross people out at work with it, but if one gets a hold of my face or something, I won't be able to show up for work or go anywhere.

Off topic, drift thread, I apologize! Carry on!
