    Thumbs down I HATE Mosquitos.

    Went camping Monday night with some friends. Got eaten alive. Normally mosquito bites go away for me in an hour or so.

    They really liked my feet/ankles, probably because the veins are easier to get to.. and I am itching like mad yet again. I got some anti-itch stuff from CVS earlier, used it earlier and it did help.. but this is gonna drive me.. buggy.

    Pun intended.

    Rub yourself down in some rubbing alcohol then apply the anti-itch creme. The alcohol will 'soak' up the itchies in the mosquito bites..

    Don't itch! They will go away fast. Duct tape your hands in oven gloves if you have to. Not sure if this is what you're using but calamine lotion it feels so good. Put it in the fridge for added relief. Check to make sure how low the temp can go though.

    That is teh suck. We don't have mosquitos in the desert but we have giant bugs. I don't know which is worse. The other day I saw a flying insect the size of a hummingbird.

    I live in Florida, so this happens every night during the summer... and I swear, those things are smart. One bit me right on my inner wrist, and another right on my neck. They even got my booty somehow, and now I have a booty with bumps! So sad. I just hope they're not carrying anything...

    Start drinking aloe vera juice. They never bother me, I guess the juice makes me smell un-nummy.

    Eat lots of garlic before you head out again. I learned this trick a few years ago in Barbados from some fine surfers from Switzerland.

    Not sure about not having mosquito in the desert, but here in AZ, holy crap! I hate them so much!

    And I must be super sensitive to them because the bites on me get HUGE and red! And itch like crazy! Of course, I'm one of those, pickers/scratcher/fussers and I can't leave the bites alone.

    I read somewhere that Skin So Soft by avon makes for a great mosquito repellent.

    Does anyone know if it can actually be dangerous to be "bitten" by mosquitoes? I mean just regular ones, not the ones with malaria. Just considering that they suck your blood with the same "equipment" they used to suck someone elses blood just before, couldnt they be carrying other peoples diseases, even things like aids?

    Mosquitoes do not carry or transmit AIDS.

    http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/aids.htm

    They can, however, transmit various types of encephalitis, malaria, and dengue fever.

    http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/Arbor/arbdet.htm
    http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/contentDe...bTropical.aspx

    Malaria and dengue are highly uncommon in the US (maybe even unheard of, these days). There are a handful of strains of encephalitis that spring up in various parts of the US and occasionally get quite a few people sick all at once. Here's some stats from the CDC, I didn't actually look at the documents but maybe someone is curious.
    Anyway, mosquito bite prevention is considered to be a worthwhile pursuit because of the whole encephalitis thing. But not because of AIDS.

    I hate mosquitoes. And they love me. I've heard wearing dark colours attracts them, and eating bananas. I dunno.

    Taking vitamin B1 apparently repels them, but it didn't work for me. What worked best, better than DEET for me, was Eucalyptus and Lemon lotion.

    i put toothpaste on mine. it reduces swelling and helps you not itch. i went to the dog beach 2 weeks ago and you have to walk like 1/4 of a mile to get to the beach through what seems like a jungle. i got bit over 25 times that day!

    Mosquitos are the devil. I used to have to set up mosquito traps and then count all the ones I caught back when I had my day job. I had more bites than I knew what to do with most of the time. So glad I don't have to do that shit anymore.

    And +1 on the not itching yourself! It's so hard....but so worth it when they go away sooner.

    Best advice I got from a doc: put on whatever anti-itch creme you're using, then immediately wrap it tight in saran wrap. It sort of "cooks" the affected area in the medicine and allows for deeper penetration.

    Also, since I've been using Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil as a repellent, bites have gone way down. I won't use other repellents because of the chemicals.
