proclaiming my new enemy: sandflies!

The first time i was bitten was during dec 2006 and the scars left from those episodes of scratching are still on my legs!
I was bitten again. While playing bball with my housemates. who would have thought sandflies would lurk around bball courts. I normally spray insect repellent lest i get bitten by the huge mozzies n sandflies around here. I'm very prone to all insect bites, especially popular among mozzies and sometimes sandflies too. i think it's the blood type or some hormonal thing that causes the emission of some stuff that attracts insects to me. i've always been getting more bites than anyone else or if not, i'm the only one that gets attacked by the insects.
Biting is one thing but the aftermath is the worst. i cant stop the itch without scratching my legs raw. it's quite infuriating, especially when the itch aggravates in the night when i'm about to sleep or in the mid of my sleep. The bump gets really red. no it's purplish red. not a v pretty sight if u ask me. dont really dare to wear shorts out but if i wear long pants, the cloth will come into contact with the bites and then i'll break out into a scratchin frenzy.
I've taken antihistamine from the chemist in sch and doubling it with a cream to apply. both internal and external. you would've thought it'll work but no! think i have to get a stronger antibiotics or i'm thinkin of getting one of those clicker thing. u just put it on the bite, click it and presto! , the itch stops. haha. that's what the ad claims but i might give that a try. hope it works.

i'm trying to refrain myself from scratching to prevent those nasty scars from staying on my legs after the swelling has alleviated.
from now on, i'll spray insect repellent wherever i go. got to sleep now. seems like the itch somehow stopped so i better get to sleep soon before it starts again. ta!
