If you are finding your reaction is greater with each bite you might ask your doctor if an epipen would be wise for you.

In addition to a deet insecticide on your skin, you may also want to use a permethrin spray such as FiteBite on your clothing. I have travelled to several malaria-prone regions in the last few years and take bite prevention seriously. You can read more about permethrin and purchase a variety of travel products here:

The site also has all sorts of links, including to state department advisories, visa requirements, CDC travel guidelines, etc.
