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.

I get the tiny bite reaction where I grew up, and the big 1" bite reaction when visiting my inlaws in a different part of the country. My body is kind of immune to the locals, but the foreign mosquitos cause a quite different reaction.

Okay, thanks. I haven't moved. Maybe different mosquitoes moved into and around Philly.

We notice where we are we have many different waves of mosquito types, each with their own effects. The tiny no see ums that leave a small bump, the wispy black and white ones that hurt like they were born in poison ivy the mid season medium sized that the bump is medium but lasts several days... hate them all. It could also be auto immune related, as the more I learn about our auto immune systems and apply that to our lives and those around me the more I realize we may have been better off living primitive away from the medical industry and governments as they have been the primary disease causer for a long time.

If you have the time, this is an incredibly informative lecture from a doctor who has managed to unravel the puzzle of people’s otherwise unknown and debilitating diseases, all caused by viruses , many of them injected.

Bookmarked the video because I am ready to go to sleep.

While I am extremely cautious of non-mainstream material, the title seems correct right off the bat. I've argued that humanity is going downhill due to protectiveness, for lack of a better word at my drunken moment.

Let the peanut dying kids die. I haven't been to a doctor in over twenty years. I'm willing to die. Fuck pharmacies. Unless I'm going to die right now at this second, don't operate on me. My stupid, drunken view.

I will watch that video when I am sober.

Thanks!
