Not sure: Your question may be as to why you are becoming so allergic to bug bites, really. The protein in the saliva of bites can become an allergen to the body over time, perhaps after a period of increased exposure. Have you been spending more time outdoors recently? Or perhaps increased standing water favoring mosquitos?
