For as long as I can remember I've been virtually immune from insect bites. On holidays and at home the rest of the family could get covered in bites but I had none. Now after hormone therapy I'm like an invitation to every biting insect in the neighborhood and at one time last year had 5 bites on one leg and on the other. I then got more on arms and legs. Yesterday I picked up 3 on my leg so a bad start for this summer. Is it down to lack of testosterone and something else I can blame on H/T. It would be funny if it wasn't so irritating.
Hi Prefect56. I've not given this any thought before but when my husband had his 3 hormone injections prior to his Brachytherapy treatment back in 2013 he suffered badly with insect bites but he's never had a problem since. That year he tried citronella type wipes but nothing worked.Hope the insects pick another target soon.
All the best B x
