Since our arrival 2.5 months ago my husband has been experiencing bug bites on a daily basis . On one occasion he awoke at 3 am with a swollen tongue. We headed for the ER , where he was given an injection of medication to reduce the swelling.... Today he has a swollen lip and 2 new bug bites....The bites have reddened the skin and are itchy....Does any one else experience this or does any one have any knowledge of what could be happening? He doesn't have this problem when we are in Canada. Thanks Guys!

When we first got here I was like a bug magnet. I had bites all over the place. I seems that I have outgrown it and the bugs are used to me and me to them. Other than red ants and the occasional misquote bite I am doing fine.

So maybe he will outgrow it. Until then DEET is your friend.
