Happiness is having a scratch for every itch. (Ogden Nash)

Last night, the assembled hordes of Ghenghis Khan, reborn as a very aggressive gnat, turned me into a human pincushion to satisfy an enormous hunger.
All summer long, not one mosquito bite. Last night, at least seven, probably more. And the late mozzies have the strongest venom - there are huge welts on my body and face and I itch all over.
This will be one hell of an interesting day.

Of course I heard of it - but it's called differently in German, I had never encountered the English word for it. :P
