Bit By Mosquitoes, No Sensation On Toes. Phalaria? Suggestions?

Hello Doctor,

My question is about Phalaria and its symptoms. The reason behind askin this question is because, i was sitting in the library in my college, and there were lots of mosquitoes around my legs, some of them did bite me, and after few hours i realised that am having no sensation near the toes of right leg. As if something is getting paralysed.
Can you consult me with this

Dear Friend,
Filariasis is a disease of very chronic onset which takes more than 10-15 years to manifest.
So just dont think about it and from next time around apply mosquito repellent cream on your legs.
I think it is just in your head, once you stop bothering go about it the so called paralysis will go away

Regards
