some reminders about those lil vampire bugs. They are attracted to carbon dioxide... breathing heavily will attract them, also sweat has some relation. I forgot if like... eating onions helped or not....
^ Yup, too right. The carbon dioxide part. Your skin breathes so it knows where to nite you to get blood easily. You should try being in malaysia. It's hot and rainy all year long here. Mosquitoes breed when it rains and thrive in the humid weather. So an electrical mosquitoe swatter is a must in every home. My house has about 6 or 7... At least 1 in every room. I usually hit the bitten area or poke it a bit. Most important, don't scratch. The itch increases when you scratch. It'll be relatively normal without itch again after a few minutes.
Ic. Just asking, but is the mosquitoe swarm worse in places with winter or the place without winter? Or just aout the same?
i think you better can ask with summer or withouth summer ;P in the northpole you prolly wont find any mosquito -rolleyes you get the point?
Yeah but I'm actually comparing summer with summer. in Malaysia, it's like summer all year right? Does that mean mosquitoes come out in the thousands for a short summer somewhere, equivalent to a year's worth of mosquitoe in Malaysia or something? So I'm wondering if the mosquitoe numbers differ in places with four seasons and those without.
it depends on if there is alot of water in a country (dont know how you say it in english but water in the air -what?) but you can see if there is a small period of summer in a country there will be less mosquito's , like in the netherlands.. if you live like in the amazone... GLHF getting bitten to death xD
well i have heard that some people have a certain smell that attracts the disgusting little bloodsuckers.there was some scientist who claimed that they have found the exact substances which make the flying things attacking people.but i m not sure if it is true or not though.
lol...aint no lil girl...=) swellings gone down quite a bit..but still abit itchy..tryin my best not to scratch or rub...-whistle also thanks a lot to everyone with their very helpful ideas...-^_^ -flow
i always get tons of mosquito bites out of my family everytime we go bk hk! great! im going to get loads when i go back on the 20th! especially when we live in lam tsueun! and those mun heurng doesn't even work!! lol
lol..that is sooo true...after i got bit, i sprayed some mosquito repellent fing the following nite...but guess what? i still got bit..lol
lol, when I was in Canada, those things never stopped swarming over me! I got like 6 bites within the 2-week period I was there.
aww man. yeah. i have these two small teeny little misquito bites right next to each other on my foot. darn vampire-misquitoes who apparently target feet. i usually try to rub em with 'white flower oil' and i really try to resist the urge to scratch with my nails because apparently that's bad.. somehow and it makes the bite even more itchier. or i just wet a napkin and slap it on because that also works (for me).
use after bite or... use ur finger nail n put a "x" in the middle.... i heard that one from a friend lol
Rawrrrr! I was a victim of their attack last night. Three bites in the same area of my forearm! *Curses*
