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.

Mosquito OS upgrade. They are no more real than birds. or you could just be getting old and weak from fapping too much I am like older than you and got two bee stings and the wife didn't believe me because she couldn't see anything and one was right above my eye.

Bees generally do avoid high testosterone because it taints the honey.
