I walked to the compost pile. Literally a 2 minute job. I got swarmed. My legs are covered and swollen. My arms my neck and back. They bit thru clothes. I’m red as a tomato and itchy. Going to doc in morning. I never got bit. After I started early menopause. The things have a map to me.
Now I'm going down a rabbit hole of mosquito attraction and what it could have to do with heart surgery. A better-working heart might change the composition of the blood, which in turn could affect the composition of the sweat and breath. Or maybe a course of antibiotics changed one of the body's microbiomes (gut, skin, mouth) in a way that has remained changed. Or maybe a dietary difference?
I used to never get bitten, now about 2 or 3 years I get bitten and my bites swell and are so uncomfortable. I learned you put rubbing alcohol on as soon as you notice it. Then I have to put hydrocortisone cream on it and a band aid. Except not band aid brand because I am allergic to the adhesive.

Skin and breath makes sense! I haven't been on extra antibiotics or a different diet
