Message: <blockquote data-quote="LittleGreyCat" data-source="post: 1502337" data-attributes="member: 6467">All my life I have been a martyr to insect bites.They always seem to swell up enormously.A mosquito bite on the ankle can be crippling as I can hardly bend the ankle and have to wear sandals because I can't lace up shoes.Strangely, since I switched to proper LCHF I don't seem to have had this problem.Insect bites just seem to itch and be gone in 3 days.So I am wondering if there is something to do with the metabolic changes to do with running on fats which has reduced/eliminated my reaction.Something a simple as blood glucose feeding the reaction. I know there is a view at the moment that some cancers are sugar hungry, and LCHF can reduce or stop their growth.Further (unplanned) test under way.I had the doors and windows open yesterday evening to help keep cool and I've been bitten a few tim,es.Let us see if all goes well.</blockquote>
