Every year ...

... after the first spell of really nice weather, the same thing happens to me.  Every year.  I get ravaged by insect bites.  And not just small bites, but big ones that result in these noticeable, red, swollen, itchy bite marks.  This weekend, my arms got hit hard.  Which is surprising, because I thought my legs would be the number one target as this was the first weekend of the year where my pasty white gams were on display.  Either way, perhaps a sad inditement of how appealing my blood is to insects.  And this is not a new phenomenon.
