I have some kind of bite back there and it is absolutely annoying the shit out of me. Every time I move it makes it itch like hell.

13. Depends on the consequences.
My first instinct is to say in any groin area, male or female. And I think you are on to something that suggests it is particularly miserable behind any joint, whether it be elbow, knee, pelvis, shoulder, between the toes, etc. Those parts are a lot more sensitive.

The worst skeeter bite I ever had in my life was from the one in a million mosquito that carried the damned encephalitis virus. I had to be hospitalized, when my brain was about to aspload. And I tell you what, the massive steroids required to cure that are just as bad as the illness itself.

They found ONE fucking bite on the top of my left foot. I still cannot believe or fathom that one damned mosquito bite made me sicker than shit for over a year.

25. JAYZUS
You've had encephalitis and recent kidney failure? were they connected? Maybe you do need to gargle with the clorox. Yikes that is some bad luck! Be careful!

29. LOL! Oh, hell no. The encephalitis was in no way connected to the kidney failure.
That skeeter bite and subsequent encephalitis was in the early 90's. But JAYZUS is right. The massive steroids required to keep your brain from asploding totally kills your immune system.

For me, it totally ripped apart my esophagus and stomach, and I had to have a surgery to fix that.

The kidney failure was last October. Pffft! It was just a one time thing, although a rather serious thing at the time. I am absolutely fine now.

BTW, I am NOT going to gargle with Clorox! Sheesh! Are you trying to kill me???

I'm kidding. :)

17. In your mouth....
I had a wasp fly right into my mouth on a training ride some years back. I had just reached the turnaround point, so I had to bike 25 miles back to my car before I could get any kind of relief.

21. That's probably the worst
Shit like that happens to you, and then a few decades later you agree to do Indiana Jones IV. Clearly, the facehugger fouls up one's sense of taste and judgment.

24. Eyelid
I got a mosquito bite on my eyelid one night, and in the morning, it was swollen up like a golfball. My boyfriend thought I shouldn't go to work because people would think he'd punched me, but the hole where the stinger went in showed clearly, so I wasn't worried. It was pretty spectacular.
