Mosquito Watch #3
Mosquitos eating Irish person in the Midwest.
A policy to fight the bite, by a sufferer of bad bites, bad bite reactions, and bad treatment reactions.
Recap:
No deterrent applied, and no after-bite topical relief applied.
Previously:
• #1 First Bite
• #2 Ugly Start
Latest:
Just 11 bites received in the last week. I consider this a very good week.
Bite Details:
3 bites on the knuckles (2 on the same knuckle at the same time), 1 bite on foot through sock, 1 bite on calf though trousers, 3 bites on stomach through t-shirt, 1 bite on neck, 1 bite on back of hand, and 1 bite on inside of lower arm.
With no bites being on the outside/front of the limbs, all bites are against biting rules agreed in pact with Mosquito World.
All bites were received indoors.
Mosquito Kills:
3 Mozzies were killed in the week, and 2 were severely injured, believed to be killed though the bodies were not found so they could not be confirmed as kills.
Total Kills in 2007 season to date: 6 (+ 2 MIA)

Eolaí gan Fhéile:
eolai, i think i know what the problem is. it’s all that tea you drink. obviously, missouri mosquitoes need a little caffiene pick-me-up in order to complete their nefarious rounds, and you are the first stop. think of yourself as a tearoom, or better yet, an Irish bar.
by the way, all those used tea leaves are good used as a topical application to stop the itch. make sure they’re cool, first.
