G*dd*amn f*cking bl*ody mosquitoes
I HATE THEM !
Since Saturday, I have been going through a true living hell.
I went to put my clothes in the laundry (which is outside, a small room fit up just for this purpose).
It was as usual very very hot in that room and I made the huge mistake to go in there while wearing shorts.
When I came back, I had 5 mosquito bites all around my left leg. I didn't care about it as I always have been bitten and barely felt anything afterwards, or it lasted 1 or 2 days at most and it was over.
But this time, I was mistaken. Why ? Because they are Japanese mosquitoes. How are they different you ask ? I'll tell you. When they bite you, the bump coming out of it is NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN in your whole life.
The bites doubled the volume of my leg and I really mean it. It became a hard red stone. I could barely stand up more than few minutes before a cramp showing up. Oh, and of course, the itching is proportional to the size of the bump, which means YOU'RE DYING.
But there's more to it. The day after, when I got back home, it was very hot as usual and I was sweating a lot. I didn't notice that a mosquito followed me in my room and had already bitten my on my left arm, right near my elbow. Soon after, it was my right foot, near the ankle and the morning after, he got my left wrist.
The two days that followed I spent them scratching my leg and my arm. All day, I was unable to concentrate more than 5 mins on work before the coming back, more powerful than ever, of the itching.
My co-workers advised me to buy a medicine called キンカン. I did so on the same night I knew of its existence (damn there my left hand starts to itch again, aaaAAAAaaaaaAAAAHHHH).
It's supposed to be efficient, though you have to use it like 5 times a day. So far, it's relieved me a little of the pain and the itching but the latter still comes back from time to time and it's freaking annoying.
I wonder how long this will last. I can't stand it anymore. The next mosquito I see will pay for all the others. I don't mean to kill it, no....just a long and painful torture...
I also wonder how come their bites can be so "destructive". It's like they sucked ten times more blood out of me, in 5 different places at once, as if Japanese' blood is not tasty enough ?
A co-worker suggested a reason : "Maybe because you eat too much meat ?" (Japanese people barely eat meat and I'm known in my company for being someone who loves meat)
Time to ponder over it :)
