Mosquitoes.
Is there a such thing as like... a super mosquito?
I recently moved into a new house, and ever since I and my family have all been reacting worse to mosquito bites. The bite immediately swells and turns red, and many times you can see lines where the enzymes flowed through the blood. Also, the bites burn rather than itch.
The mosquitoes themselves seem different too. They are very small (only a few millimeters long) and when you get close enough they are completely black with little white stripes on the legs. They seem to be smarter, too, and tend to only bite areas which will bend, bunch up, etc. (such as a finger), and therefore become more irritated than somewhere such as the middle of the arm which wouldn't see much disturbance to the skin.
Can anybody give me an explanation as to why this might be? Could it be that it is a newly evolved or undiscovered species, or might there be other biochemical/psychological forces at work seeing as this is a new house?
