My dad, my brother and I react badly to any king of insect bites, we get large 1-2 inch marks that swell and weep.
I thought it was that we attract more bites but then wondered if that belief was because we react so badly.
If a person didn't get the reactions would they even recall the bite.
Anybody know if there is any research on this?
I just answered someone above with something similar but... I go camping a lot but very rarely get a mosquito bite. Sometimes if they're really bad I will end up getting a couple of bites, but the bumps are highly delayed, and I cannot recall the feeling of ever actually being bitten.
Until this post, I didn't even realize people actually "felt" the bite as it was happening.
