I do really hate it very much and im very prone to it. Perhaps i have a sweet blood, well diabetes run on our blood. I would like to wear shorts but im afraid my legs will be attacked by mosquitoes. I dont like to have scars anymore so i often use pants to protect myself. what about you, are you prone to mosquitoes? what do you use to protect yourself from mosquitoes?

I really hate mosquitoes too. Almost everything about this insect is irritating: its look, its sound and even its way of ingestion! Disgusting! I am also greatly bothered when mosquitoes are around because I know that some of them might just carry some virus [dengue, malaria] and that would surely make my life a lot more miserable. I dont wear specific protecting formula against these mosquitoes but I do wear pants to protect my legs and that's about all.

Who doesn’t? We all would like to get rid of it of course. In my apartment I don’t experience it because my windows are sealed and if I open it, it’s not too prone to mosquitoes because I live in a high building. But whenever I’m in our farm, I surely am going to get some bites from them. That’s why I always wear pajama all day.

i hate mosquitoes especially the sound they do. it's very irritating and annoying. at night before going to bed, i wear pajamas to protect me from mosquitoes and sleep under a mosquito net.

I do belive that mosquitos are more attracted to certain people, not sure why..maybe ceetain people produce certain body odor etc..that attracts these mosquitoes. My hubby and my second daughter usually get bitten easily when no one else in the compound does. Prevention is better than cure. Make sure your there are no standing water at your area, if you have water plants, put some small fishes or tadpoles into the container to eat the larvae. Some plats produce smell that acts as mosquito repellent

Hi cheenlly. Just like you do, my husband and I are very much prone to mosquito bites. We get bitten more often than any of our family members, friends and everyone around us. Just like you've said, our blood are possibly sweeter than others! Anyway, that is why I just love staying in New Zealand a few years back. I think it's too cold for the mosquitoes to live and breed there. Oh, for protection I use mosquito nettings. Try reading infrmation on mosquito nettings, mosquito bite treatments and what attract mosquitoes to human at http://www.mosquito-nettings.com/ Happy reading!

I am lucky that living in England we don't get actual mosquitoes but if I get bitten on holiday I am affected badly. It is really annoying. We only get small flies here but on a summer's evening even they are bad enough to make me run for cover.

I definitely hate them! When I am sitting somewhere with my friends during the summer time, the mosquitoes would just attack me for no reason (and my friends are all safe!). And sometimes at night, they would attack my face and I would have to keep waking up because of the itchiness. And I couldn't sleep very well too! So, I would say they are my enemies! Now I would buy some anti-mosquitoes stickers and stick it to my top if I need to go to somewhere with moisquitoes or I will stick it on my bed if I go to sleep without the air-conditioner. It works!
