Help! I just moved houses into an area with many mosquitoes. However, I haven't been outside all week - ever since the first bump appeared on my skin. What's happening to me? Is this some weird sort of allergy?



Edit: I'm not worried about the bump. I know that that comes with mosquito bites. Why can't I bring myself to go outside? It should be an easy thing to manage.



Hint:




Why will my friend have to grow his beard out?

You're clearly




bugging out due to being bogged down by bugs in your bog causing bulges.




But I haven't figured out your diagnosis. Retrospectively, maybe you should have thought twice before going to




beg a big bag of bog bugs.

Perhaps you have been bitten




not by a mosquito but by a vampire. Traditionally, vampires (1) also bite, (2) make their victims into vampires, and (3) can't tolerate sunlight. I'd have thought it wouldn't be hard to distinguish a mosquito bite from a vampire bite, though.

Answer:




You have moved to Norway, where mosquitoes are known as stikkemygg. Therefore, you have been "stikke"'d and are stuck inside.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
