    A friend of mine has that as well, and I didn’t even know it was possible. I also wasn’t aware that some people are extremely allergic to mosquito bites, so while I get like a little itchy pinhead welt, I’ve seen people who get ones the size of a quarter. The grass allergy friend has it so bad that if the bite is on a wrist it’s becomes hard to bend it from the swelling.

      My wife and son get extreme reactions to mosquito bites sometimes, perhaps it depends on the mosquito type or something like that because it’s.not every bite. It swells up, goes red and hard. A few days later turns into a blister (biggest ones I’ve ever seen) full of clear fluid. Only does that on arms, legs and feet. On the face it does the same but without the blistering.
