I have been like this always, and my Mom used to tell me that the reason we never had a dog was because of it, but for me? Bug bites itch.
Like, forever.
As I'm writing this (a week and a half ago, if we're honest) I've got a welt of a bug bite on my knee.
And it's COMPLETELY itchy.
And it's been there for at least a week.
I've put lotion on it, and yes, I've scratched it, but you'd think after a day the thing would stop? But no, not me. Bitey bugs seem to love me, and I seem to really dislike them.
My Mom claims that the worst I ever had it was when I stayed at a friend's house overnight and they had a monkey. (That part's true. They had a trampoline too. At the time, both were equally exotic. I remember spending a lot more time on the trampoline than with the monkey. I seem to remember it being in a cage and being intimidating. And loud.) Anyway, they had a monkey, and apparently I came home covered in flea bites.
And, of course, they were massive, massively itchy welts for ages.
So, no pets for us.
Mosquitos will do it too, and no-se'ems, and whatever else it is that finds me so juicy.
But, yeah. Knee is still mega itchy, and me no likey. And I know I'm not the only one that deals with this!
(Oh and one more thing. If you get a new bite a couple of days before you go see your massage therapist and he says it's such a doozie he thinks it's a spider bite not a mosquito bite? Whatever you do, don't google spider bites. Just promise me, ok?)
