Mosquitos

Okay so no one ever accused me of being normal... but i always seem to have to the weirdest reactions to mosquito bites. I have had some that swell up to about the size of a lemon cut in half... that doesnt happen often. It has been a while since I have had one that big actually. I have had some that dont itch at all and just go away... doesnt happen that often either.
Then my norm... which is the pictures below. They usually swell - these are about the size of nickels. They usually get a red streak running from them - which swells up also. They usually get super red all the way around them. They itch like crazy for an hour or so then stop and within a few more hours there is barely a sign of them on me.
So just thought I would post what normally happens with me and mosquito bites.
Does anyone else have reactions like this? I have looked up online about the red tail that runs from them and I always get things like "if there is a red streak go to the doctor immediately". however I know that this will go away on its own. I dont get sick or anything.
Anyway... this leads me into my next post.... why I hate splinters. I will post it soon.
Enjoy the photos of my arm :)
First photo... this is so you can see that the red tails coming off of the bites puff up too

This one shows how red they get

This just shows the bite and the tails... the bites were only dime size here.
