It is the time for the mosquito! I have a pond in my yard, since it has been rainning for the last couple weeks, the rain is accumulating in the pond and it attracts lots of mosquito to hang around... when I stay on the deck in the yard sometimes, I get biten by them. It is funny that when hubby and me went fishing the other day, he got biten a lot by the mosquito but I didn't get any, then he told me western mosquito doesn't like Asians, I thought he was serious... haha I thought that was very funny :-p
When I get biten, I like to use the fingernails to make a cross on the spot, it won't feel as itchy, you can try! ;-)

it is related to blood type. as I know, people with type O are quite attractive to mosquitoes.
I must get bitten by mosquitoes every summer, but only few times in all summer.

I swear they come from miles away just to bite me! There is something about my blood or my scent or something that they find irrestistable, because if one mosquito is buzzing around me and a room full of people, it will bite me!
I heard that if you eat a lot of garlic, you won't be bitten as much. Mosquitos don't like the way that tastes, I guess.
I eat way too much sugar. That is probably why they like my blood so much!
You can also do the hot water treatment to keep the bites from itching (works very well on poison ivy!).
You just run the bite under straight hot water for as long as you can stand it. It usually only takes a few seconds, but it numbs the site to any itch for at least a half an hour or so. When I have poison ivy, I have to do the hot water thing every 20 minutes or so. But it works!

Really? Maybe that's why! Because I eat garlic quite often, that's interesting! Thanks for sharing! :-)

I always bitten by mosquitos I don't mind it anymore as long as the mosquitos are not carrying diseases like malaria or dengue. I always had mosquito bites all over my arm when I was a child when I don't use mosquito net. Back then there are no dengue because then I always go anywhere to play. Now it is not safe anymore to go in dark, swampy and grassy areas because of possibility of bitten by dengue carrying mosquitoes.

Hi mermaidivy. I don't live near a lake or a pond, by I still get bitten by mosquitoes every single summer. It usually happens when I take a walk in the woods or visit horses. I guess my blood is just sweet and the mosquitoes can't resist or what :) I've heard about the cross, but I don't think it really works. I believe it's better to put a lotion on the spot, that is specifically designed to treat mosquito bites.

Hi mermaidivy...
Oh yes... I do usually get bitten by mosquitoes. They really are pesky little critters. Whenever I'm with my fiance, he would get no bites while I would get the whole troop. It sucks actually. My dad used to tell me that I have sweet blood that's why those mosquitoes love biting me...
Speaking of mosquitoes... I just got bitten... on my forehead of all places. Talk about irony. Hahaha...

Mosquitoes have become a very big problem in country side areas.. I use the induction coil sparking racket to kill the mosquitoes.

Hello mermaidivy,
We don't have mosquitoes at home as we live in a high rise building. But whenever my family and I go back to my hometown, my husband will get all the bites. I have no problem at all - not even a single bite but for my husband (poor him!) he will his feet with full of bites! He told me once that he wondered why the mosquitoes love him so, so much!

I live in the Philippines a tropical country so mosquitoes are year round. I am always bitten by mosquitoes everyday anytime of the day really. Sometimes I put on mosquito repellent but after some time the repellent doesn't work anymore.
I use mosquito net during sleeping time at night.
The mosquito bites? I usually scratch it or put something on it like lotion or oil.
