When my 32 year old nephew was a child, he had asthma and was allergic to mosquito bites (my girls are too. they swell to the size of half dollars and have a white head on them)

We went to the drive in, the kid was playing on the swings for about an hour at dusk. He started having trouble breathing during the movie and we ran him into the emergency room.

The doctor looked at his mosquito bites and said, “These are cigarette burns”

Luckily, my sister was a nurse and said, “There are entry points on each of them if you look closely.” and there were.

I can’t imagine what would have happened if they had just called CPS!

Mine too! My oldest's bites swell up like hives, only even bigger - more like silver dollars, poor kid.

I was at the grocery one day when one lady questioned me about the marks on my boys’ faces. I had no idea what she was talking about. Turns out they had lipstick marks from me kissing their faces (they still ask me to kiss their faces when I put on lipstick) and she thought they were bruises of some sort.
