    I left ATL with 18 mosquito bites. I am having a complete allergic reaction to this. The pain and swelling is unbearable. How do people manage mosquito bites on the east coast/south? They're fucking savage. I hear a lot of talk about bug spray with deet being bad for you and stuff without deet is basically worthless.

    • I think ice or something similarly cold (cans etc.) work as a temp. remedy? To draw the heat out and reduce the swelling.face_melter
