Reply to comment by anamethatstaken1 in LPT: use hot water to kill mosquito bites by diavolo_bossu
You're allergic.
My bonus daughter used to play soccer, and she'd take allergy medicine beforehand to stave off such consequences from the inevitable mosquito bites.

Wait - what? That worked? Like, I could go camping with mosquitos and take allergy medicine and the bug bites might not swell up?

They would still swell up, but not to abnormal size.

Life changing - can't wait to put this in use next time I'm outside with those little critters! Thanks!

Hope it works for you.
I don't go onto the wilderness much, so I rarely get bitten nowadays. The highest risk is at the air field where I skydive, but DEET roll-on or stick work great.

What’s a bonus-daughter?
GalFisk t1_j6czt2z wrote
A cute Nordic word for a stepdaughter. With all the European folk tales about mean stepmothers (mostly), the step- prefix has a slight negative connotation here. Bonus- is much more positive and better reflects our feelings.

A spouses birth child. Step child.

Do they hand out bonus kids where you live? What's the bonus for?
