As far as I'm aware, no. Except for people who have minor allergies to mosquitoes and develop welts from them.

They're nothing new. Happens at the beginning of every year. They will dissipate.

I've seen the Asian students, like from China and Japan and such, covered in bites. It looks like they have eczema. :(
