My children are camp survivors as I pack them off every year ...

My oldest daughter would get a nasty reaction (burn like blisters) to mosquito bites when we still lived in Ohio, but when we moved in Indiana, the reactions stopped (different breed of mosquito). THEN when she was in 5th grade that all changed and we didn't know until she went to Girl Scout summer camp just outside of Bloomington, IN. We went to a special little play the day before camp ended and there was my poor baby in her swimming suit. She had 147 bites on her legs alone!!! She was bathed in Afterbite to stop the itching....AND she had been using an insect repellent .

Needless to say, she wouldn't go to camp the next year at all!
