Attacked by a mosquito

I woke up this morning (for the final time) to a buzzing sound. I opened my eyes to find a mosquito close to my face. Wasn’t able to kill it as it flew away and I couldn’t see it anywhere. Got up to find that it bit me in the neck.
I got out of my pajamas and before I had the chance to put on my leggings I saw it fly by and lend on my leg. Tried to kill it but it was too fast. Found two bites on one leg and two on the other.
That sucker must have been very thirsty for my blood. Five bites in under ten minutes. And all in my bedroom that’s located on the third floor of our house. Wonder if it flew in through the rip in the screen on the window.

Those mosquitos are quick . . . I don't ever see them bite, yet I seem to get bites all over my ankles. I swear they are waiting at every door that leads into the house . . . when you open them, they just sneak in. But yah, very possible with the ripped screens too.

Thankfully no need to keep scratching.

@lovebuglena That is good! We have a ton of them here in the south. They are also huge!

@kareng I have seen huge ones. Wonder if those can bite us as well.

Because of dengue fever, I am scared of mosquitos. Even when there are no mosquitos around, I use mosquito repellant.

They have been biting my fingers and my hands. I bought some anti itch cream today. Usually even if they bite me it is not a problem, but lately it is.

When they make you want to scratch all the time it’s not good.

I wasn’t able to kill it and then it seemed to vanish. But then I spotted it hours later in the living and was able to kill it.

A lot of the time we don’t see them when they bite us.

We have tape there. Maybe there is a rip there we don’t know about.
