I have over fifty mosquito bites on my legs below my knees. I woke twice last night to find myself scratching my legs furiously.
I have been taking benadryl and applying cortisone cream around the clock, but I still want to scratch my legs until they are bloody stumps. It’s even worse than the time we inadvertently kayaked into a stagnant marsh in Miami.
I now realize that there is another depth of misery to be reached beside pain and nausea. Itching.
Just drug me until they’re gone, okay?
How the hell did you get that many mosquito bites? Were you in Northern Wisconsin? Or running through a marsh?
We all got pretty bit up at Michela’s graduation party the other day. I think I got it the worst, but everybody is suffering. Totally worth it.
