Legs Fully Covered.

It’s that time again -- mosquito season! I had no choice but to fully cover my legs today. Long pants, socks, and even a shawl draped low. Those little bloodsuckers were out for war, and I wasn't about to be their buffet. Sometimes fashion has to take a backseat to survival! I hate being a mosquito magnet.

They are bad here right now too. That is about the only good thing about winter here--usually the mosquitoes are killed off.

Mosquitoes seem to like some people more than others.

My daughter went to a place with mosquitoes. She put sprays on her body but forgot to do it on her toes. The mosquitoes ATE her toes.

Looks like they are bothering you when you are out somewhere. At home I am sure you have protection We do not get affected when we are out

Same here! I'm always glad for sprays, lotions and tablets that let me go out of the house wearing only shorts, tank top and sandals... I get too hot to cover up and mosquitos LOVE me if I forget to put lotions and sprays on before going outside! When I was young, my friends invited me to outdoor parties because the mosquitos would attack me and leave everybody else alone... *sigh*

I did put the repellent already. Good thing it is a bit cooler now here. they made you the designated mosquito magnet! That’s so unfair

You’re not the only one! But honestly, I can’t stand being fully covered — I’d be hot and sweaty in no time. Pants are tolerable, but beyond that? No thanks! Luckily, there are other ways I can protect myself without sacrificing comfort. I just have to be consistent and a little diligent about it. I always have mosquito repellents with me — patches, lotions, sprays — whether I’m at home or out and about. So far, they’ve been doing the job. Even inside the house, we barely get mosquitoes, but we still have our mosquito killer lamps, electric swatters, and even diffusers and plug-ins — just to be safe.

we barely have mosquitoes in the house. There are just a bit of time, where I do not know where they come from. They just came out of nowhere and bite me. I don't like wearing much when I am home so I also put repellent

For some reason mosquitos don't go after me. I don't remember the last time I had a bite. Long pants should do the trick.

So as here in India, in this monsoon season mosquitoes are trying to build the kingdom and make people sick.

Mosquitos are like vampires they want your blood.

Remove their place of breeding like stagnant water, change water on the vase, declutter and spray mosquito repellant. That could be possible of getting rid of pesky noctural insects.

In my 60 years on this planet I've probably only had 5 mosquito bites.
