Mosquitos – the bane of my legs’ existence

I am not sure why, but when I’m with my sister, she tends to like to stay close to me. I think it is because I am probably the mosquito magnet of the bunch. I give off a sort of “COME SUCK MY BLOOD” vibe, I guess.

In fact, I think I have already received my first bite of the summer — this egg-like bump on the side of my temple. Or maybe that is just a cyst. :\

During the summer, I like to go cycling, but since I’ll be in a long sleeved top and long sleeved pants this year, I doubt I’ll feel much pain when I’m biking.

(Anyway, not only are they annoying, they can also carry the West Nile virus, which I am sure you have all heard to death about).

The real problems occur when I spend my lazy weekends out with BF walking around town in a comfortable summer wrap dress. It’s not so bad when I walk because they can’t seem to get me to stay still enough to have a proper spot to land on my tasty, sweet blooded arm.

Or, if we sit outside and BBQ, which we love to do in the summer (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Being surrounded by food? Never a good thing if you are hoping to ward off flies and mosquitos.

The mosquitos will inevitably sense a feast on the table, and barring that, zoom in on my legs, which of course, ruins my plans for having a comfortable night sleeping without itching, and it just makes me dread going outside for the rest of the summer without long sleeved shirts and pants on.

I kind of want to wear citronella as a perfume now, just as a precaution, or try out this mosquito trap which acts like a magnet. Maybe then, I can enjoy my meal without the flies feasting on my legs.
