Vegan Bug Bites

In the past when I've gotten bitten by mosquitoes and the like, the bites swell up into huge red blobs that can be up to 2 inches across.. One time I got bit all over the side of one leg and the whole leg looked like a bug battlefield. Also they used to take ages to go away - the bites, not the bugs :)

However, last week I got some bites and not only did they not get huge they also went away quickly. I think it is because of the vegan diet. Eating a plant based diet makes the body more alkaline and this helps counteract the effects of the bug bits. My body can just handle them better.

So, bring on them bugs! I'm ready for 'em!
