Mosqitoes?

<< < (6/12) > >>

Gordonc:
The mossies are extremely voracious at the moment and were very obvious at dinner at the LP last night. I was bitten three times the first night after stupidly forgetting to put on the spray ??? They still got me twice the second night in spite of being covered in the stuff and a small bite to the forehead last night, the only bit of me not sprayed. As ever, Beryl has not been bitten. The wing commander in charge of the mosquito squadrons must be telling them to target the big ugly Scotsman, he's an easy target ;D Anyway, we now need to buy more spray, perhaps taking a flamethrower to the reeds might also help!!!

We got our own back a bit last night, managing to kill a few at the table, one was trying to drink my Mythos, completely unforgiveable!

It always amazes me how some people are never bothered by mosquito's and others are plagued night after night! As I fall in the latter category I feel unfairly treated! It appears that some people just smell more attractive to the things, a mixture of sweat and carbon dioxide I believe? Anyhow  I'm sure I read that many  of the recommended home grown protective measures, garlic, vitamins etc have never been scientifically proven to work. However if something appears to work for you I guess that's all that matters! For me its DEET it makes me less attractive to mozzies and the missus! As all biting mosquito's are female, I wonder if its just a woman thing!

Wondered what that pong was that used to float round the Romanza around 7pm each night........reminded me of muck spreading in Thirsk!!

Now you know why the mosquitos keep well away.
An added bonus is being a Yorkshire lad  the fresh countryside smell stops me getting homesick.
I better just clarify one small point which may stop you being barred when you return to the Romanza.It is not Nitsas Kumquat jam you can smell.It is that well known skin softener that is said to protect you from mosquitos.I was told from a trusted source that its main ingredient is Essence of Yorkshire Dung.

We get bitten on the odd occassion but find the Jungle Formula and taking anti histimines starting a few days before we go usually works. Last August we didn't get a single bite in 2 weeks.
