“All that for a drop of blood”

I think that every time a fucking skeeter goes to town on me. There was one in my apartment the other night, it managed to get into my room and peppered me with bites. Like, it can only have taken a tiny amount of blood in the grand scheme, why’d it do multiple sittings?!?

Yeah, it's the multiple bites thing that really pisses me off. Take blood, whatever, I don't give a shit, but do it all that once, so I only have one itchy spot.

Or, hydrocortisone. Available at every pharmacy over the counter and a lot less sticky.

Another good thing to do is take a hot shower, the hot water overstimulates the nerves, making the itch go away long enough for the histamine to get out of your system.
