Bitten by a monster... err mozzie

We woke up this morning to the sight of this: (see photo)

Erin's been bitten by something and we weren't sure what it was. Half her face was swollen and so are a few of her fingers. I was worried it was spiders because she said she saw spiders the night before.

We brought her to the doctor and he dismissed it like it's nothing. Gave us a prescription for a cream and said "mozzies are nasty".

What the... what kind of mosquito does that? It is that type that bit the dinosaur in Jurassic park?

Anyway, Erin did get better after a while. There weren't any swelling anymore when we were about to sleep.
