| Doesn't sound like mosquitoes. Spiders, maybe? See if you can find an open pharmacy and get something for the itch (which I'm assuming that you have?). You don't have a pet, do you? Could be fleas? |

Well a few weeks ago I got COVERED in bites, 5 on my hands, 6 on my feet and legs and a couple on my arms (this was over a few nights). In the end i found a little bug midge thing which I squashed and they went. Seems it was massively thirsty tho.
Look for midges, they are small a bit like flying fullstops in 16pt font. |

| This happened to a foreign friend of mine when i lived in korea. She had stayed out walking around with friends til wee hours in the morning and her ankles were torn up (so many insect bites/as many as you). Anyway, she went to the drug store and got some cream that made the itching go away. If you show the pharmacist, i am sure they can tell you what kind of cream to put on it. When i got bit by mosquitos, my korean friends got me this medicine spray called "Suh-buh Kool Aek", sorry i don't have a korean keyboard otherwise i would type it for you in korean. i think "suh-buh" may be the brand maker's name. Makes the itching at least go away temporarily. hope this helps |
