Insect Bites

I always seem prone to getting a lot of insect bites - more than the average person.  And at some point this week, my feet and ankles got absolutely ravaged by insect bites.  It could have happened when I was in bed and my feet were sticking out from the duvet.  I've been wearing shorts almost every day, often without socks on, so it could really have happened at any time.  Either way, the bites are big, red and very very itchy.  And putting on loads of anti itch cream doesn't seem to make a jot of difference.  Not pleasant.  It is also perhaps a reflection of how attractive my prediabetic blood is to insects.  But that's not a hot take - I've been devastated by insect bites far too many times to count over the years.
