    Dancing Chocobo Are you a mosquito's delicacy?

    Do mosquitos like to bite you?

    I had a big ol' mosquito bite on my arm recently. It itched like HELL for almost a week.

    I dunno. My dad was always the target, so I have managed to evade them while abroad. We don't get mozzies in the UK. Midgies are perhaps a more terrible substitute.

    OMG I HATE MIDGES! They swarm outside the door at my parents place. Ugh. I hated those things.

    On topic though, mosquitos do seem to find me tasty. I currently have four bites from being outside grilling for 15 or so minutes earlier today.

    I get a few every summer, but it's never that big of deal. Just have to have the will power to ignore it. A technique that works for me is to scratch AROUND the bite. You don't agitate the bite and you trick your nerves into thinking that you actually scratched it, so it provides some relief.

    This is neat.... If you think mosquitoes like you more than most people, maybe you're right. I know they LOVE me and I've avoided the park a lot since mosquito season really started. I've been wanting to go back but I don't want to be dinner. The mosquitoes here even eat through clothing

    They seem to swarm me while others complain of one or two errant bites...

    Mozzies rarely get me. I don't know, it might just be because I am small and cold and they want to go for larger, warmer humans first.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    My main problem has always been the gnats around here! Growing up they were obsessed with me but recently they seem to have lost interest, I'm happy!

    On holiday I have to cover myself in repellent to avoid being bitten. I react quite badly, too, and swell and bleugh! Luckily, I don't really have to worry about them here.

    You don't have to use that word just because you don't like them.

    All the time. I put Bandaids on my bites now so I dont unknowingly scratch my skin apart while sleeping.

    Once I was so sick of waking up with mosquito bites I slept with a long sleeve shirt, long pants and a balaclava on and I woke up with mosquito bites on my eyelids.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    I bring a frog with me wherever I go and the froggy will take care of those mozzies for me.

    Sometime I help myself to them if I'm hungry.
