I have three large impressive bites on my left arm, and three large impressive bites on my right back-of-hand, and a small but very itchy one on my right elbow... but none anywhere else!
Provided I don't get malaria (unlikely; I'm taking the right pills) I'm still not overly bothered by this distribution of bug bites. There are far worse places to be bitten. I won't go into that.
There's a raised white hard lump in the middle (about a half-centimeter in diameter), surrounded by a larger reddish area from where I've been scratching in my sleep.
Question 2 is why the hell am I awake at 2:30am? I went to sleep around 10pm and I was exhausted. Logically, I should still be very unconscious. I was going to have a perfect sleep schedule, dammit! Sigh. I blame the mosquitoes. Maybe I should have dosed myself to sleep... I would have, but I thought I didn't need it! And if I did it now, I know (by experience) that it wouldn't wear off fully by the time I had to get up... which would be very unpleasant. Maybe I should do it anyway. I definitely will tomorrow night.
It's 3pm in Chicago right now... not really a waking-up time. So I don't know.
I saw the damn thing fluttering around before I went to sleep but I was too tired to do anything about it. Dammit, tired-me. Mosquitoes.
Edit: in the good news, the bug bites of doom detumesce and stop itching after an hour or so. Tom commented on that earlier today also so I think it's a trend which I can count on. AWESOME!
