Re: Where to report mosquito bites?
I heard that it's the odor that we give off from our breath and skin... and I'm not being derogatory towards smelly bastards! Some people have the odor that mozzies love... and I'm one of them. You can guarantee that if there's a mozzie in the air anywhere around 20 feet of me, it'll sniff me out and have chewed on my follicles before I've even shut my flippin' door.
And my bites swell up really huge and leave ugly bruises. It's the same for my daughter. Yet hubbie mustn't smell too sweet to the little buggers. They always leave him alone.
Jeez, summer is great, but if you can't leave the house because you know you're going to get munched on for some bugs breakfast, then it can make getting fresh air a real challenge.

Re: Where to report mosquito bites?
I use a variation of this for chiggers and tick bites. I don't use the cloth, just spray the hottest water I can stand on the bite for as long as I can stand it. It really works, I just did it this morning for the collection of seed tick bites on my ankles. Mosquito bites don't usually bother me too much or I would try it on them as well.:curse:

Re: Where to report mosquito bites?
As for the mosquito's, they love me so much after one bite I thought I had another muscle and I have tried pretty much everything to stop them. One time I had to go to the doctor and needed antibiotics and antihistamines my ankle had swollen so much I couldn't wear shoes. They're nasty little buggers. I love seeing the dragonflies as I know they are after the mozzies!
