Over July 4th weekend, I was at an outdoor party. I got a lot of mosquito bites, which is prompting this question.

I've notice that in recent years that the bites are causing much larger swellings (~inch diameter), and also cause a minuscule amount of pus to crust up over the bite. This has been happening for a few years. I do not remember this happening ten plus years ago.

Is it an age thing because I am older? If not, do any of you older folks recall when it would be just a tiny bump that would itch a bit and nothing more? Am I retard for even asking this question?

E: Also, the crusty pus thing did not happen ten plus years ago either by my recollection.

Don't eat bannanas. They contain an enzyme most (all?) humans cannot digest and breakdown. The enzym is excreted directly through the pores of your skin and attracts them. Second, drink tonic water on days you know you will be out around them. It is likely to significantly decrease reaction to the female's bite.

Bananas are good for when you work out however. Don't be a skinny pushover and let the mosquitoes win

Bananas are great for after drinking. And , I want all the Bromelain ... I think. Bananas are wonderful. I refuse to accept any argument to the contrary.

Hangovers suck, partially because of magnesium deficiency. Nanners are high in magnesium.

Bromelain helps to increase production of T.

Nans contain Bromelain, soyboy.

Bromelain

Pineapple is a superior source. Everything else is easily sourced from other sources. Absolutely silly anyone would around mosquitos would knowingly eat bannans.
