A member asked:
I keep getting bites or something that irritates my skin and it swells up and to me looks like mosquito bites but there aren't mosquitos here in ny?

Insect bite: No mosquitoes in NY? Nonsense! They're everywhere -- every state, every town, every neighborhood. Or perhaps you're being bitten by something else. In any case, try an insect repellent and see if it prevents the problem.
