As a kid vacationing at the Nichol's cabin in Pinetop, AZ I would always be covered in mosquito bites, especially on my neck. When I was 16 I was out on the trampoline with my boyfriend one night and my legs were covered in mosquito bites. I have since then been very cautious during the summer. The last 5 years or so I have been really good and maybe only get bitten once. This summer that has all changed... we were outside having pie and ice cream (I had banana cream pie with chocolate ice cream; yum!) and I didn't change my shorts to pants or use bug spray because I had thought it was cool enough outside for mosquitos not to be out. Boy was I wrong! I have seven bites on the foot below (you can only see six), two on that same leg by the knee, two on my other foot, and one on that leg by my knee. So not fun and it has been a long time since I have itched so badly. I have discovered though that with some anti itch cream and Benadryl the itchiness does go away. I am definitely going to be more like my mom and always put on bug spray because I never want to go through this again.
