I barely spent 24 hours in Fort Lauderdale for this work trip, yet somehow, the monstrous mosquitoes there were able to find me and give me bites in four different spots of my body, three of which were fully covered by pants and a long-sleeved shirt for my work meeting. All of these bites happened during one short walk from the hotel to our rental car. The one on my elbow has swelled up and is over four inches in diameter. How does this always seem to happen to me?

I am a mosquito magnet. I don’t know what I’ve done to attract them, but somehow, no matter where I go, I am their sweet target.
