Being my team's left fielder, I can sympathise. (spelling geeks - should Canadians be using the British -ise, or the American -ize?)
Years ago, mosquitos would bug me until the annual fishing trip. Up there the mosuitos were so thick even liberal use of Muskol couldn't stop them. It was terrible, but after that weekend I wasn't itchy anymore. I believe I read that at some point your body adapts and doesn't generate the histamine anymore. You still get bit, but it isn't itchy so you don't even notice most of the time.
