One summer, about thirteen years ago, I went on a camping trip with my mother and sister. Both my sister and I ended the trip with over 100 mosquito bites on EACH of us. No joke. Her bites went away without a problem but I had a similar reaction to what your daughter is having. My bites were swelling to the size of golf balls, were hot, and itchy for days. I had to take an oral medication as well as use a (medicated) lotion on the bites themselves. Still, after all these years, my bites will still sometimes cause such a reaction.

When I first started college someone recommended I try nursing. I put it off for two years because I was not sure I could handle body fluids, death, and disease. While enough time has gone by during my "basic education" courses that I now feel comfortable (enough) with body fluids and death, I'm still very concerned about contracting diseases. How safe is nursing for the nurses?
