As I've gotten older, I seem to be more and more allergic to bug bites. An average mosquito bite will swell to anywhere from nickel to quarter size on my body, and I'm the kind of person that seems to attract every mosquito in a 3 mile range. But whether it is from a mosquito, a chigger, a tick or whatever, the bites swell to large sizes and last for 1 to 2 weeks, on average.
My question is this: is there any medical venue for me to pursue in an effort to put an end to this misery? I already try to spray myself down with bug spray before spending time outdoors, but it's gotten to the point that I'm reluctant to even go out to the mailbox without that protective layer of bug spray.
Any ideas?
