hi

I seem to be attractive to all kinds of insects and get bitten/stung often.

Sometimes I get very large swellings and at times have had to have my clothes cut off to be able to reach the affected area.

I had one last year on the foot ( gardening in sandals -doh) and I had to go to hospital.

The doctors say that insects are attracted to certain types of blood.

I am prescribed a daily dose of 5mg of antihistermine which helps but is not a total defence.

If I get a bad sting I take 180mgs twice daily until the swelling is under control.

Interestingly I have been stung by wasps and they don't bother me any more than a small insect bite.

cheers
