Do you still get mosquito bites?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46812points) September 28th, 2016

At the camp ground I was walking little Cooper down a big hill at around dusk. Suddenly we found ourselves in a cloud of mosquitoes. Poor kid just started walking, was trying to walk up a hill for the first time, and he was fighting off mosquitoes at the same time.
Sure enough, he had a bunch of bites the next day. All polka dotted, poor baby.

That’s when it hit me….I can’t even remember the last time I got a mosquito bite. I know I’ve been bitten, I’ve watched them land and sting me, but I don’t have any reaction to it any more.

Do you? Do we all develop some sort of immunity as we age?
