Since my primary school, I have been plagued by measles caused by mosquito bites every summer, and I have been in the hospital several times when it was serious. There is no cure for this condition, and it can spread to every inch of the skin and even every organ of the body. Every time I was bitten by mosquitoes, I suffered a great deal of pain. The allergic symptoms often made my whole body red and swollen, and the allergic symptoms on my feet made it difficult for me to walk, which needed to be relieved by applying medicine or infusion. The infusion tube became the only channel connecting me with the normal world. Sometimes, sudden allergies cause me to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and keep rolling in bed, which makes me feel very devastated. One raised red allergic patch after another disappeared and reappeared on my body, and in the process, some left pigmentation on my body, making my skin look like there were small dark patches. Over time, the marks they left on my body seem to have become a special part of my body, like the marks left by the world on my body, and I am symbiotic.
