And my doctor buddy that I was playing golf with said once you’ve had a reaction like that the next one could be bad too…or worse.

It's always weird to me that someone can go from "not allergic" to "deathly allergic" in one or two experiences for something that super rarely happens.

I understand that if you eat a lot of that you can develop an allergy. That kind of makes sense.

But the bug bite made your anus itch? I read that right?

LOL! That struck me as funny, but I can vouch that it happens. I haven't had it from an insect bite, but when you get a skin irritation from bug bites or, I think, anything that makes the skin red and itchy, that's from prostaglandin dumping due to histamine reaction (or something like that). It's the same thin that causes some folks to turn red and itch when they take niacin (that would be me). I have experienced an itchy sphincter after taking niacin (the niacin flush usually starts with the face, then hands and feet and works its way toward the torso).

Reminds me of the joke that I first heard when I was about 11. "Confuscious say, 'go to bed with itchy butt, wake up with smelly fingers'."
