The land of plenty...

Mosquitoes that is. I have been in contact with these nasty, blood sucking insects for my whole life. So an itchy bite here and there is really not an issue. But apparently in Korea, I have the best tasting blood around. I woke up one morning to find my legs covered with quite a few small red bumps on only my legs. They were scratchy so I just figured a mosquito got the best of me in my sleep. The next day, I woke up with even more bumps so I started compiling the possibilities. They aren't spider bites and they're not big welts from the mosquito bites I'm accustomed to. So the co-workers and I decided to self diagnose and we decided it could be fleas or a case of some serious bed bugs. The next day, I tried sleeping on the floor and I couldn't tell much of a difference. I then proceeded to spend the next three nights at other peoples' places only to find I was still getting more bites. The strange thing is that these bites are only located on my legs and ankles and no where else. And let me tell you my legs look absolutely atrocious! I've shown a few people and everyone has the same reaction - they step back, put their hands to their mouths, and gasp out loud. I've spoken with my boss and some other natives and I have since closed all of my windows (although I have screens). I'm also only using artificial air. I'm making a trip to the Doctor's to see if there is anything they can tell me. I'll keep you posted on my strange bites and hopefully not illness!
