[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are definitely differences in how one reacts to these. DH is getting destroyed!! Like huge, painful, and crazy itchy welts all over his torso and legs. He never reacts badly to bug bites so this is a complete first.

Me on the other hand? Haven’t noticed even a single bite and I’m outside a lot and as much as him. No reactions whatsoever. Really odd thing is that I have a particularly robust allergic reaction to mosquito bites. They become super huge and if i itch one then itch somewhere else, I get a rash in that next place. I’m usually covered in bites and rashes.

Of our three kids, we have one who is getting bit alive by these and covered in big welts and two who aren’t reacting at all. [/quote]

Yeah it's bizarre- normally DD and I are really susceptible to mosquito bites, DS and DH, less so.  DD is the only one in the family getting destroyed by the mites.  I spend a fair amount of time outside and we have a lot of trees in the neighborhood (including oaks) but don't think I've had any at all yet.[/quote]

Same here! I have only a few bites that are super itchy and typically am the one that gets attacked ferociously by mosquitos. My DH typically has no problem with mosquitos and has so many oak mite bites!! We walk together, so outside the same amount of time.[/quote]
