A few weeks
ago, someone told me that the mosquitoes were worse in the winter. I had a hard
time believing them because at the time, I had gone two or three days without a
bite and it was great. I guess that was calm before the storm. I do not know if
the summer and winter mosquitoes are different breeds or if the mosquitoes bulk
up for winter but whatever happens, they are very different. These mosquitoes
do not rely on stealth to get you, they come in vast numbers, they are huge and
it seems they are immune to bug spray. These mosquitoes are more like the Minnesota
mosquitoes that I am used to. I can hunt them and kill them, they are more
active around dusk and they are annoying. I am covered in bites. At the latest count,
I have 25 bites on my left foot / ankle, and about 15 on the right. I have no
idea why the left is more popular. There are about a dozen bites spread between
both hands and arms. The rest of my family, who wears less bug spray, has only
one or two total. I must taste really good. Perhaps being pregnant makes my
blood sweeter. My facebook friends have been very helpful in offering
suggestions and I am giving each its fair chance. So far, no luck.
