I'm gonna chop off my left leg. I swear, I'LL DO IT!!!

Last night, I was getting naked so that I could go to bed (its hot!), and I noticed that I had two fairly large mosquito bites on my upper thigh. I mean... what the heck?? I don't remember them being itchy, not to mention I was wearing jeans! Its not like I was walking around in nothing but whitey-tighties...


Well, over the course of last night, they became HUGE. They are soo itchy now. I've been using Cortaid, but I can't stop scratching them. Dear lord, it is driving me mad. The two bites are so big, they're starting to form together. I took a ruler to the bigger of the two and it is 3.5" in diameter. Ohhh myyy gosssshhh...


I'm going mad. I'm going to chop off my leg!!!!!!

Feeling blah

Mosquitoes are perverts.
Feeling amused

take an antihistamine tablet..at least that will stop the itching..cant blame them for biting your thighs,i would!
Feeling blah

Oy vey, I actually took my allergy medicine not too long ago. Works well on my eyes and sinuses, but skin things... nooo... of course not... can't have all in one without it making you sleepy. Grr >:(
Posted on 12:20AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
I heard if you take a cotton swab with a little bleach on it and then bandage it to the bites it will curb the itchiness and possibly shrink the size of them. Give it a try. My sympathies. :(
Feeling blah

Bleach? Eeek... I don't know... I might burn my skin. :

Surgical removal seems your best bet...give me a call, I'll walk you through it.....
Posted on 01:39AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
haha. yah, give me a call too, so i can laugh my *** off
Feeling blah

You guys are poops!
Posted on 01:45AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
I suggest you sell the leg on Ebay (after madisonlouis guides you through the operation)...
Posted on 01:47AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
Are you sure they were mosquitos, and not one of those horrible spiders that leaves a flesh-eating infection? lol Seriously, my mother used to use Bactine on my bug-bites. With the kids I use 1.0% hydrocortisone or a Benadryl cream and then put a large band-aid on it to keep them from scratching them.
Feeling okay
Posted on 01:49AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
... as soon as I read mosquitos all I was thinking about was how I could somehow make a homosexual reference using sucking (because mosquitoes suck your blood). Shame on me.
Feeling blah
Posted on 01:51AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
Auction it on Ebay? How much would it sell for? I don't think many people want random legs... and a flesh-eating spider???? Ohhhhhhhh goshhhh.... I hope not.... Get your head out of the gutter,
Posted on 02:06AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
These do not sound like typical mosquito bites...if they continue to get worse get yourself to thy doctor pronto no kiddin.
Posted on 02:09AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
Mad mad itchy itchy, ooh , I hope it gets better. How about putting ice on them for awhile? Numb the sensations?
Feeling blah

Uh oh... don't scare me peaceonearth! I'm Jewish, after all (meaning that I'm a born hypochondriac)!

awww ((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
Feeling blessed

I've had good luck with any benzocaine cream (fast-acting, but short-lived) or hydrocortizone cream (slower to act, but last longer). I agree though, these don't sound like mosquito bites. Could be spider, but sounds more like chiggers. If you're going to sell the severed leg on E-bay, you should mummify it first - get more for it, that way!
Feeling blah
Posted on 02:17AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
Chiggers??? Spiders??? Oh my gosh, I have never wished more in my life that I had a mosquito bite... at least they're normal!
Posted on 02:21AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
relax, cc--they sound like mosquito bites to me. We all get bumps because we are all allergic to them, but in varying degrees. Where I get a small bump that is annoying, my youngest used to get half-dollar-size whelps. He's not the only one I've known like that either. :)

calomine lotion, that stops the itching, leaves great pink sploshes on your skin where you apply it but otherwise pretty good for the mozzie bites, and it washes off!better than chopping your leg off, that leaves red sploshes on the floor and you won't be able to get down and clean it up, with only one leg to stand on, or you could but you wouldnt be able to get up again, silly.

It's hard for a good Mohel to find work these days...Oy vey.....
Feeling amused
Posted on 06:51AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
i agree with peace. if they don't recede by the end of today go get them checked.
Posted on 08:06AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
Just dont scratch them CC ! ! It makes them itch more when you break them back open again.. If they are chiggers.. Which sounds possible if you were wearing jeans.. Use clear fingernail polish.. It will burn like hell at first... But it will feel much better shortly their after....
Posted on 08:14AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
ROFL....sorry to hear about the vampire insects (whatever they are). I hope that you have be able to get the itchiness relieved. Now, should I be watching for a leg on Ebay?
Feeling blah
Posted on 11:58AM on Jul 3rd, 2008
They're feeling a bit better today, thanks guys. Now its just ones on my elbow (smaller, though, don't worry). Eek!
Feeling blah
