This is my thumb. Just in case you think I'm going to die from some flesh eating bacteria, I would like to allay your fears: it's a mosquito bite.
Mosquitos love me. I hate mosquitos.
I guess I could be flattered that my blood tastes so good that they flock to me, but I'm not. I'm just glad I don't live in a malaria zone.
And I hate to be whiny, but I really do think I'm more sensitive to mosquito venom (is it venom?) than the general population. This bite on my thumb, which I witnessed in action, but failed to kill the perpetrator, happened on Tuesday evening. Past experience tells me that it will continue to itch for another 4 or 5 days.
I really do like summer, I just have face it armed with 3 tubes of hydrocortisone cream.
