    If it's an insect and it bites, I'll be attacked within seconds of going outside.

    I used to be when I was younger, and not only that but I'd also get really bad reactions to them. They would swell right up and turn into large blisters. That stopped when I was about 7 though. Now I don't seem to get bitten as much, Locky tends to attract quite a few bites though so maybe she's distracting them from me.

    A few years ago I was in Spain with my friend- we counted 74 bites on her!! She was absolutely covered! Thankfully I'm not quite as bad but do tend to get quite a few. I have one on my ankle at the moment that is driving me INSANE!!!

    I haven't been bit in a very long time. I guess I am repugnant to mosquitoes too :/

    Living in Ireland, thankfully not.

    Went to Malta about 10 years ago though, smurfers wined and dined on me...

    Yes, I very much am.

    I still remember going to this church reunion thing up in Iowa one summer. The mosquitoes there were all huge, and they were really bad. We'd have a campfire some nights where at the end they'd make us all stand in a circle, holding hands, and someone would say a prayer. I could feel like 20 giant mosquitoes biting my arms and it was a miserable experience.

    I use bug repellant when I go outside, so no. It's the spiders inside that I have a problem with.

    I never had much of a problem with it before but for some reason I must've been bitten well over 30 times this past month. It's getting a bit frustrating.

    Any time I venture outside it's like a huge neon light. They flock to me and I have to itch the rest of the evening.

    I moved to Korea from the UK so experiencing them on a regular basis was a surprise treat for me when I arrived. The locals tell me that the mosquitos only bite dirty people. So naturally I get bitten a lot.

    I mostly get bitten when I'm sleeping or while being outside. Bugs just sneak up on me. I couldn't tell you if they were a mosquitoes or not. My mom gets it worse than I do.

    It's a nightmare here. Mosquitoes are all over the place, especially in the summer evenings, and no matter how hard i try to avoid them i always get bitten on the ankles, every year!
