Does Allergic Reaction To Mosquito Bite Cause Severe Swelling On The Body?
I am getting eaten alive by mosquitos this year (in CO, where it is very dry, but unusually humid this summer), and am afraid I might be having an allergic reaction. I have giant sores and swelling, and they tend to get me in similar spots every time. The swelling and building of liquid (such as in my ear) haven gotten significantly worse. Is this an allergic reaction?
