Anyone ever come down with west-nile or something that just may have been west-nile? I had gotten bitten by 3 mosquitos 2 years ago and for the next 3 days I would break out in these gigantic hives allover my torso mostly, it was the weirdest thing! And too bad i didnt save the picture because it was the weirdest sight ever! To combat this I would take 2 pink benodryls, then slather cortizone creme allover my torso, and soon enough it would all dissapear. GROSS! Lucky my immune system was doing great, sheesh!

Sounds like something else, maybe you're just allergic to mosquito bites west-nile Doesn't sound pleasant.

West Nile causes fever and nausea, vomiting, rash (versus hives) and swollen lymph glands but that's only in a few people. 80% of people don't know they have a problem. And, it takes 3-14 days before any symptoms appear.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
