Trip Log: Buenos Aires 3

April 20th, 2007

This city is filled with mosquitos (but no malaria luckily). I´m too lazy to wear repellent so I’m getting bitten every 10 minutes. As a result I´m covered with mosquito bites…as well as some large strange-looking lumps. I just hope this is some weird new reaction my body is having to these local mosquitos because most of these things look and feel like abscesses (large, warm, tender, kind of hard). Not exactly what I want in a foreign country.

My first one, pictured below, was the first one and during the next two days I had two more form on that arm and one on the opposite arm. I actually felt one swell up in a matter of a few seconds. I better not die.
