A member asked:
What is the reason for my mosquito bites to be over two inches in diameter while other peoples bites are around 1 cm in diameter?

Some people: have a more severe histamine reaction to mosquito bites and the more you scratch the more your bite will get red and swollen. So try not to scratch, use hydrocortisone and ice water packs to calm your skin. Add an antihistamine like zyrtec (cetirizine)

Lucky you: A few unique individuals have a genetic trait which determines that they react more violently to mosquito saliva. Use repellant and slap with authority.
