There are two kinds of people in the summer: those who suffer from bug bites, and those who do not. I belong to the former group. This is not just because mosquitoes like me—although they do—but also because I actually have hospitalization-level allergies to several North American insects. My mosquito reaction is severe enough that, the last time a mosquito bit my cheek, my eyes swelled shut and I turned into an anaphylactic Quasimodo. When my primary care physician saw me, she shouted, “Oh my god!”
