Ruthless Mosquitoes

They are terrible insects that prey on every possible surface of your body. I was bit on the bottom of my feet! Unfortunately the peace corps house in Sikasso has a a limited amount of mosquito nets. So for the first night I stayed there I was without a net. I counted 10 bites alone on my left hand. It was ridiculously hot, because the power was out. Usually the fans help keep the mosquitoes at bay. Also the medical cabinet in the house had no mosquito repellant! fml. So there I was lying in bed with long pants, socks, a long sleeve shirt, and a sheet draped across my face. I am trying my best not to itch, because I learned the hard way last year when my itching led to a bacterial skin infection.
