well turns out the mosquitoes know it too! I believe I have mentioned a time or two about the fact that if there is a flea or a mosquito around I will be bit. Well, in Los Angeles we had so much smog I didn't have to worry about bugs, I never got bit. But now I'm living in the south or as I affectionately like to refer to it as mosquito country. Two nights ago I made the mistake of taking my garbage out at night. My blood was too much for them to resist. I have a bite right between the eyes! What I want to know is how something can land on me and bite me on my face, between my eyes and I not know about it til later? I would have had satisfaction if I could have at least killed the bloodsucker. I also currently have bites on my hand, arm and butt. How it got to my butt I do not know (OK, guess I should have worn pants around the house, hey, I'm enjoying living by myself).
Anyway, yes, I will be that person walking down the street using one hand to scratch her face and the other to scratch her butt. When I itch, I scratch. Welcome to the south! At least I've seen no flying cockroaches here.

5 Mannions Speak :
Leiha, you need to get some of repelant. You don't want to get west nile virous!!! there is a special one that helps ward off that.

Put Benadryl on the bites. Works pretty well for the itching.
Another tip, mosquitoes are attracted to the colour blue.
Must be true, I saw it on The Discovery Channel...
I hate how I can get bitten everywhere and Simon never gets one, even if we are sitting next to each other. SO UNFAIR!

LOL! Yeah, I'm one of those people those suckers love as well.Believe me, when I get bitten, I get bitten really well. It starts to swell and itch like hell...shit, you've seen my leg this summer! LOL!
And I definitely agree what Lina said about scented body lotion. I saw once in discovery that mosquitoes are attracted to scents. When we went to Thailand on vacay, I used unscented and perfume free body lotion and deodorant. It helped!!
LOL, if I get West Nile disease, I will not be happy and will blog about it!
Luckily the itching hasn't been too monstrous but I will definitely put something on if it starts getting too bad.
The thing is, the only time I spend outside is to take out the garbage or go to my car. There's no hanging outside for me, well until I see my boy neighbors outside again, LOL.
I don't use scented lotion but all of my shower gels are scented. I can't not use them, I have about 7 or 8 of them, LOL. Maybe when the fall gets here it will be better. Keep your fingers crossed.
