I woke last night to a couple mogi bites. Annoying. I keep a fan going (helps) & generally cover up in bed. Nets strike me as total overkill here & coils make me nauseous.

I never scratch, just seems like bad policy. A dab of saliva seems to alleviate things a bit. But then I started thinking, whats an itch?

Its not painful. Is it possible to throw over all our conditioning & get behind it as a pleasant little stimulation? I was working on that thought when sleep overtook me again & I finished my night with nice dreams.

Stupid thread, sorry. Or maybe not.

I get 2 or 3 cm welts, and, if I get enough of the toxins in my bloodstream, hives.

I'll stick to playing electrified mogi tennis and sleeping with a net.

isnt the swelling caused by them urinating into your blood after they've drunk from you?

better to not get bitten by one

It's the saliva, but some people react more strongly than others. I used to be less allergic, but ever since a really bad attack 3 years ago (I looked like I had the chicken pox!) I've had a really strong reaction to bites.

Some people say that this stuff doesn't work, but I swear by Avon's Skin So Soft spray. I hardly ever get bites.

Clean them with rubbing alcohol as soon as you get them and they go away.

They typically don't even wake me up so I'm cool with mosquitoes. I just kill them when I see them.

One night my husband woke me up by jumping on the bed and hissing "you little bitch! I'll kill you!"

He was armed with a fly swat and was trying to catch a mozzie lurking on the ceiling (which had just bitten him).

Edit: or was it "die you bitch, die!" Something along those lines, anyway.

I havn't been bitten by a mosquito in years. They hate me.

I can handle the bites.

It's the buzzing in my ear as I'm trying to sleep that I seriously CAN'T handle!

I think i have bad blood, I almost never get bitten

I brought it from home, but you could have someone order it and mail it to you. My grandma introduced me to the stuff years ago at her mountain house.
