Normally I only have a few, but they always swell up and itch terribly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280799 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 18:27:43 +0000 pastemoo 280799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did an archaeological field study at Madison Parish, Louisiana... and got 127 bites the first day, 80-ish the next day... and after that they all blended together in a giant red bumpy horrid rash. I was ridiculously itchy for a long long time.<br /> When I was 18 months old, I got so many mosquito bites (I was in China) that they thought I had hives and kept me in the hospital!<br /> I react really badly to mosquito bites (like quarter sized raised welts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280764 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 17:50:04 +0000 Meridian 280764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'm not sure about mites, but we don't think it was bed bugs because my husband didn't get any bites.

I didn't go anywhere forest-y or swampy and they just suddenly appeared. The first day I had 20ish bites, then the next day 30+ bites, and then the next day I counted over 50!! It was so bizarre... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280189 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:49:45 +0000 birdofafeather 280189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got them bad when i went to malaysia several summers ago. probably 30 or more and big nasty ones even though we covered ourselves with DEET.</p> <p>a couple of years ago when DH and i went to hawaii to visit friends, i got them on my eyelids and it looked like someone punched me. i was staying with friends and the next year we visited, they had had a baby, so they were maxed out with the mosquito protection, so i barely got any that year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280179 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:27:20 +0000 Mr. Coco Bee 280179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 10 - 20.</p> <p>The worst are on the feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280178 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:27:19 +0000 matador84 280178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 20-30 too.

Once, I had a huge mosquito bite on my ankle and that was surrounded by chigger bites. My ankle swelled up so bad. I actually thought it was a spider bite, but my doctor said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-280026 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:36:53 +0000 Rubies 280026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I've been three times for missions work with my church.

One night I counted 152 bites on my legs ALONE. My knees were completely swollen out of shape. I gave up counting the ones on the rest of my body. Needless to say, I got both malaria and dengue fever after that trip. And yes, I reapplied insect repellent every hour or so and slept under a mosquito net. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279996 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:11:18 +0000 Rubies 279996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Head-to-toe, no lie. Several years ago I was in a remote village in Guyana and was eaten alive by mosquitoes and cabora (similar insect but worse). Literally, head to toe. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279987 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:53:05 +0000 mamabolt 279987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I have forty+ new ones today after working in the yard yesterday. This is after I had over fifty last weekend. I'm one of those lucky people who mosquitoes love, I got those despite practically bathing in bug spray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279916 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:34:24 +0000 chopsuey 279916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww. Poor charlie! I had a TON when I visited Korean during the summer of 1985 ( I was 5 years old!) Parents sent me and my sister out there to visit family.<br /> My mom was really upset when we got home and she saw that I had bites all over my body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279906 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:22:54 +0000 JerricaBenton 279906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I studied abroad in college and I swear - the mosquitos knew we were foreign and couldn't wait to get a taste! I don't generally get too many mosquito bites so I was shocked to have 20 or 30 at a time in the beginning! I would cover up at night under thick wool blankets and I would still get bit any place that was exposed like my eyelids and lips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279903 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:21:30 +0000 JennyD 279903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton when I spent a summer in the Caribbean, and they were really itchy, and I scratched them in my sleep. Many of them got infected and turned into sores. They were horrible. When my sister saw them, her eyes got really big when I told her they were mosquito bites and asked "how big were the mosquitoes?" </p> <p>Kids afterbite maybe? My brother used to suffer from North American mosquito bites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-mosquito-bites-youve-ever-had-at-once#post-279901 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:18:29 +0000 mrbee 279901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 20-30. But Charlie has many more after our trip! I itch just looking at him!!</p> <p>You? </p>
