butterfliesRfree	All I know is it happened to me too. My brother had an outdoor wedding - a lot of people at the rehearsal and I was the ONLY one who was totally attacked. That always happens to me. It has to be because we are SWEET. Because I like that answer. But I did find out a new cure for the itching. This lady at work was itching from bites and she was putting deodorant on her legs. I thought it was hilarious. But try it. Other people confirmed it worked. I have tried it yet but.......it sure can't hurt, can it? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bobweb	Buy some pajamas that are specially treated to ward off mosquito's. You can also put a mosquito net over your bed that is supported by posts at each corner. Think about the malaria infested countries and how they deal with it there. Buy a mosquito net tomorrow! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Primrose	It's not just you. Yes, some people are mosquito magnets and a lot of people are allergic to mosquito saliva. So when their skin flares up, they can wrongly assume that they're getting bitten more than the next person. The bad news for people in this category? There's no effective alternative to mosquito repellent. All you really can do is wear long sleeves and throw in a bit of mosquito repellent. Mosquitoes don't bite us at all, they actually suck the blood out of you. Fact: They can't transmit HIV. The reason? The virus that causes AIDS can't survive in the mosquito. The female species is more deadly than the male. The females need the blood for protein to make eggs. A mosquito bite can be fatal because of the diseases they carry. Malaria is of course the best known killer, more than a million people die from this parasite every year. Spread by the anopheles mosquito, it occurs in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world.

a-mazed	Are you positive that you are getting bites from mosquitoes? and not bed bugs? You could 'trade' sleeping areas with one of the other 2 people in the room, just to see if they get bites --- before you ask them to bravely accept your offer - read about these little nasties at this link --- http://Medent.usyd.edu.au/fact/bedbugs.html Now I wonder if you are glad to have mosquitoes? if that's what your bites turn out to be, compared with the alternative. . .
