Weird, both times I've been bitten it's felt like a really bad sunburn that just continues ramping.

Are you allergic to mosquito bites? I have an allergy to their anti-coagulant or their local anesthetic. When a mosquito latches on, it starts burning, and afterwards, the swelling is as big as a US quarter coin.

I have similar reactions to ticks. The moment they latch on and start working, it starts a painful burning sensation.
