Lately, our poochie Buddy has been suffering from a skin disorder to where he has hot spots throughout his body. Because of this my FI have been having to treat him to more baths then he is used to. So last night, my FI decided to give Buddy a wash with some new natural medicated soap. My FI always does the washing and I get to watch =)
Well yesterday I was helping out a bit, holding the soap and the hose. As I was standing there I starting to feel a burning/stinging sensation on my lower legs. So much so that I was continuing to rub my legs which eventually led to scratching. If you haven't guessed it yet, I'll tell you. I was bit by our lovely mosquitos.
When I finally got into the house, I noticed that I didn't just have 1 bite but 16 bites!! My legs were on fire, so I got out my trusty Aveeno anti-itch cream and layed it all on the bites. Unfortunately for me, my doc says I am allergic to getting bites so that is why they turn into welts which eventually turn black & blue causing them to bruise.
This is just one bite...
My FI and I joke around saying they bite me because I am sweet... Nice! The worst part is that my FI didn't get any bites. Lucky him!!
Are any of you a magnet to mosquitos or other pesky bugs? How do you soothe your bites?
You poor thing! I used to never get mosquito bites but the past couple of years I seem to get eaten alive and I hate it! Since this just started occurring I don't really know of anything to put on the bites other than some generic anti-itch stuff that contains cortisone.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better!!!
Thanks LauraAnn!!
ReplyDeleteI know I will recover but I just HATE it. I think about 5 years ago is when the bugs started tearing me up. Thank goodness this is only a Summer thing =)
