Well, at least to mosquitoes I am.

Those buggers have eaten the dogshit out of my legs. No matter what I to, they manage to wend their way into my apartment and stick their meddling little probocises...proboceces..proboce...(fuck it!) suckers into my body and drink up all my blood.

I have like a dozen 'squito bites on my legs right now, all of them from the knees down. And don't think I haven't thought that's a weird circumstance.

I'm using this calamine spray stuff so I don't itch myself into a coma, but it's near thing.

So why do these damned bugs find me so scrumptous! I'm gonna eat garlic and cloves or something to tasts natsy! That's the ticket!

Like all females, mosquitos seek the blood of men. On the other hand, given the location of the bites, could it be that you ran afoul of a spider while you slept?
 
My legs from the knees down are literally COVERED completely by mosquito bites.

And I KNOW they're mosquitos because I am constantly SLAPPING the stupid fucking things off of my legs. They haven't bitten me anywhere else all season long - just knees down. My poor sister's feet are completely mosquito-bite covered.


And for some reason the suckers are huge lately. I've killed two the size of a large housefly this week.

It's disgusting.
 
No, they're mosquitoes.

I did a check for fleas and chiggers, and have some neat-o ultrasonic thingies plugged in that keep them at bay, too. None of them around. On the other hand, they don't seem to work on the 'squitoes.

They're definitely 'squito bites, too. They don't have the sting of the spider bite or the size of a flea bite. They're just picture perfect mosquito marks. Fuckers.

I may have to go on a killing spree later this evening and hunt them down....
 
Hot water helps with the itching.

(and your av is rockin' my socks, JMJ!...I love it)

Is that because they're masked my the second-degree burns? ;)

(And thank you hon! I've been digging on yours a while now!)
 
Benadryl makes an anti-itch spray that is wonderful, keep it in the fridge, the cold will deaden the nerve endings so the itch will not be as pronounced.

Nice seeing you stranger and I can understand the mosquitoes attraction.

Got to get one of those blue zapper lights...some people hate the sound of them, but I love the sound of a good long kerrr-crackle-ZAPPPPP!

Thanks sweetie! :)

You know what I can't figure? The ultrasonic thingies work on chiggers and fleas and flies and such, but not on mosquitoes and gnats. Those I have. Could it be that I have a special breed of subsonic mosquitoes? Genetically altered mutant mosquitoes that only seem to enjoyt he fat of my calves?

Oh and on the calves thing. Why do 'squitoes seem to bite the areas that are the most inconvenient to scratch?

Because those are the areas that they feel you will not be able to see them since most people do not walk around staring at their own calves. Seems they have a good plan.

Oh I don't know. I stare at some pretty strange places on my own body. ;)

I might too if I could see past my boobs without leaning over.

I wanta come to DC
 
Drink lots of black tea. It changes the make up of something in your body that misquitos dont like.
 
it would appear Jim, that you are a tasty snack treat now to females of two different species. That's impressive.
 
Ugggggg Jim I feel your pain. Why is it that misquitoes seem to prefer certain people? I am ones of thoses unlucky people that ALWAYS get bitten. I can remember one time I was outside with a bunch of friends, I was complaining all night about the bugs. They pretty much told me to shut up b/c they were not any bugs out. Then we went inside and they looked at my legs! We stopped counting the bites at about 70! No one else had a sinlge bite.
 
I'm Sure Someone Will Correct Me If I'm Wrong, But

The Big Ones With Real Long Legs Are Females. Female Skeeters Don't Bite, But They Make Great Snacks Fer The Fish! LOL

JazzmanJim Darlin'!
Drink Alota Beer, I Know When I'm A Drunkard They Leave Me The Heck Alone:D

The Ultrasonic Thingimibob Is Great, But You Need Something That Simulates The Sound Of A Dragonfly! Skeeters Fly The Other Freak8ing Way When They Hear The Killer Dragonfly:D

Good Luck With The Bites Ya Already Got. Try Scratching Them Til They Bleed, It Works For Me! LOL

Three words......

1.) WEST
2.) NILE
3.) VIRUS

Nevermind That.

It's Not A Huge Deal, Man!

One One Type Of Skeeter Can Even Carry It, You Are Not At Risk Unless You Have An Immune Deficiancy Or Really Small, Or Are an Old Person.

Be More Worried About Other Stuff, Like What You Are Breathing And Drinking!
 
Trust me. I know more about the West NIle virus than I care to already. It's kind of a job thing.

And I do live in a rather high risk are for it, considering that the area is mostly swampland all the way up above DC. But I"m keeping my eye on that. If I start feeling flu symptoms, I'm heading to the doc. I have a co-worker whose wife may have come down with it, and it's nothing to fuck around with.

RNAB - maybe it's that the beer makes it so that you don't notice the bites. Come to think of it, either explanation helps me. ;)
 
I have never been bitten by a mosquito in my life. I don't know why, but I like it! :D

My mother theorizes that I actually have been bitten, but that I'm one of those very few people who doesn't experience a reaction to mosquito saliva, which causes the itching and the swelling.
