Someone's allergic to mosquito bites and the posting of this photo clearly shows how vain she is not!
Thanks skeeters!
Nice:
Oh, we can all assume there's a vampire loose on Nantucket OR if there are any doctors out there, what the hell do you think I was bitten by?!?! It felt like it was 1.5 inches long, half an inch wide with a hard shell...and it took a little pulling to get it off of me...eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!
* Nantucket, MA 09.05
If it had a hard shell, it was probably a tick.. skeeters do not have hard shells. Ticks are hard to pull off when they bite..
Please go to a doctor ASAP as many diseases are spread by ticks. Not to scare you, but here's one (and it's even NAMED after Nantucket..)

Posted by: Agulator at September 8, 2005 10:41 AMOMG! That's the same reaction I get when I get bitten by mosquitos..How terrible. I hope it heals right away. Mine gets swollen like yours, then it gets very itchy, and I end up damaging my skin...
I HATE MOSQUITOS! What purpose do those species serve in this world...Hmm... =/
Ouch! That is some immuno response. I wouldn't worry unless it doesn't start improving within 24 hours. I am a mosquito magnet myself, so I feel your pain...
