I don't know why, but mosquitoes love me, and they especially love my eyelids. Anytime my family was in the Philippines, I'd get bitten on my eyelid while I was sleeping. My eyelid would puff up so much that I wouldn't be able to see. My family is accustomed to seeing me like this; they just laugh at me when this happens.
So, here I am in Thailand, and I'm finding that Thai mosquitoes love my eyelids too. Despite the hot weather, I slept in long pants and a t shirt. Any exposed skin was attacked by what I suspect was one mosquito that had been buzzing around the room. It bit me several times on my forehead, once in between my eyebrows, and of course, on my left eyelid. All the bites became swollen. My forehead looks like a Klingon's forehead, and my eye looks like Quasimodo. Eric affectionately nicknamed me Klingmodo.

ReplyDeleteOh, Pam, I know how miserable that can be. The mosquitoes like me too. Can you use a net or DEET spray?
