So friggin itchy!

I am so crazy ITCHY! I'm really only updating my blog so that I keep my fingers occupied for a bit so that I don't continually scratch the zillions of mosquito bites that are currently covering my arms, legs, face, hands, elbows, neck, ears, feet, back, ankles.... Chennai- last time it gave me runny poo and this time it left me looking like the victim of some terrible skin disease. And yet, I've left Chennai (now in only slightly less mosquito infested Mamallapuram) and am once more returning to Chennai two days from now. My host family in Chennai invited me to attend the weddnig of the son of some ultra famous Indian actor (whose name I can't recall at present)... and so, how could I say no? I shudder to think about what gross ailment I'll leave Chennai with next time. I once asked a doctor friend about the strangest medical issue she'd ever seen and the answer was "milky white stuff oozing from a patient's belly button." I really hope that doesn't happen. That would be truly gross. And given that I'll be wearing a sari to the wedding that may very well show my belly button, it would be particularly unfortunate. If you are still reading this, you are a trouper and perhaps a bit of a gross ailment fetishist, like me. If you are, I recommend that you go to the science library and take out a book on skin conditions. Really unbelievable and engaging stuff. Shoot- I just figured out that I can type with one hand and scratch with the other! Aaaarrrgggg!
