There were some mosquitoes bothering us last night. And that's why I needed to turn the fan on while we were sleeping to shoo away the mosquitoes.
We couldn't sleep well because my husband got bitten by the mosquitoes. I helped him scratch his knee, ankle and toes. He's so desperate. 
I don't know why he could easily get bitten by the mosquitoes, while I didn't get bitten at all.
I guess my husband is a type of person who is loved by mosquitoes.
What about you?

I went for a walk in a nature park this morning that had a lot of water in it from recent flooding. There were lots of mosquitoes. I think I got bit by about 42,716 of them!

@Miss_Leafy Yes, I have so many bites all over my body that it looks like I have chicken pox!

Mosquitoes love me too. I don't' know why they seem attracted to me. Is it the blood type? It's like between you and me, the mosquito would be gathered around me, bit me and not you.

@Miss_Leafy I have a mosquito repellant lotion. I always wear something long that covers my legs and arms if I have to stay outdoors.

@Miss_Leafy so how did the mosquitoes get in?
maybe you can use a mosquito net if they have them in colombia?
or research organic insect repellent since you're both vegan/vegetarian.

I know one person who gets so many bites from mosquitoes. It's in the blood in the person that attracts mosquitoes.

Really? What makes the mosquitoes get attracted by certain kind of blood?

mosquitoes like certain blood more than others . I think your husband's blood tastes sweeter than yours

That's bad. Then I can say that I have 'unsweetened blood'.

True. That's why this becomes problem for us. I don't want anyone to get the dengue fever.
