This is the very same reaction I have to mosquito bites , but I wouldn't think
I was going in anphalactic shock. I've grown up with mosquitoes all around all
my life, my Mum, my sister, and several friends have the same reactions.
Often my bites itch for more than a week - but this is considered normal for a
sensitive person up here in NB Canada.
I wouldn't worry too much
