Mosquitoes

[suttonred]

i've never seen one.

You rarely see them, just feel the after affects of when they've been.

I see them pretty often, caught one in mid bite once, big bugger too, that got flicked a long way from me.

Maybe Lady's mum is pregnant

My legs got covered in bites playing 5-a-side at the Oasis.

I can confirm I look a bit pregnant.

I thought this was another OF  holiday helpline thing.

Sadly, as they're attracted to sweat, me in a hot climate  = all mossie leave cancelled.

seriously if you live in a mossie area, go to pharmacy and buy yeast tablets, take one a day, you will not get bitten, i stayed in guatamalan jungle for 6 weeks and did not get bitten once thanks to the yeast.

Lot's of mozzies here but they pretty much leave me alone for some reason, they love a good munch on the misses so. She must be more tasty than I am.

fleas and mossies always bite me. i've got my antimalarials and deet stuff for tanzania. yeast extract sounds much better but i'm looking for more of a guarantee against contracting malaria so will have to suffer the side effects of malarone.

Lady: mosquitos like nice smelling things (perfumes, aftershaves, body lotions) - in Greece the three main ways to avoid being bitten by little sods is to 1) not to use too much of the said body lotions (just stink a bit). 2) the best way to avoid bites is to cover your body in vinegar, you might not get kissed much, but you wont get bitten either and 3) very important, never scratch and open the wound, the smell of the infection attracts mosquitos like nothing else (if you get bitten on your foot and you scratch it, be assurred you will get another bite very close within a few hours).

Ohh must have been the perfume then and scratching the bite is not something I plan on doing, yuk!
