Annoying blood suckers

argh!!! is it me or is there an increase in the number of mosquitoes in the house?! Where did they all come from?!

its super frustrating.. i keep using the repellent and they still don't die!! its like i'm unwilllingly feeding them.. !! Gosh, they cunningly sneak up to you and suck your blood without asking for permission and still dare to leave a horrid bump mark on the skin which itches and itches!! arhhh!!!

*DIE! MOSQUITOES DIE!!!!!* (muahahahahahh! *evil laugh*)

Well actually i heard that mosquitoes leave their saliva in you after stinging. It' to prevent the blood from clotting so that she can enjoy her feed, until she is full. ( ARGH!!! The nerve of HER!! and yes, its only the females that bite..tsk!! ) the protein (protein?!? like am i supposed to be grateful now?!?) from the saliva sort of triggers some reaction from our immune system, resulting in the swelling. So the body's immune system actually has to break down the "protein" before the swelling can go down. AND!!! not all people when bitten, will feel the itch.(those lucky few!!) It all depends if they are allergic to the mosquitoes' saliva.

gosh, i hope the mosquitoes are like "dengue fever negative".. like, don't bite me and leave me with an itchy swell AND dengue. oh please no..

*squints eyes, looking out for those bothersome creatures*
