Mosquito bites

[Ordinaryguy]

I've always been annoyed in the summer because I get a lot of mosquito bites, more than other people it seems. People tell me mosquitos mostly leave them alone but they always, always go for me.

I did some research on why mosquitos are attracted to some people more than others. It turns out that they're attracted by "people who give off large amounts of carbon dioxide".

And what's a major source of carbon dioxide? You guessed it, farts.

What does that tell you about me?

I guess thats why I end up more bitten than everybody else when we go hiking in the woods. ;D

[Ordinaryguy]

See? That's proof for my theory right there!

I bet if you put Kimm in a house then tent it, she could kill the termites and just about anything else. ;D

I belive you're quite right, Ordinaryguy. Here in Alberta, we've had a wet summer and tons of the little buggers. Do they go for me? They sure do-
like a hungry man on a t-bone steak. Apparently mosquitoes are attracted by people's CO2 production and smells, especially smelly feet-where do that leave me? Buying some "off" and regretting not buying it earlier. Cheapness doesn't pay, especially when it comes to mosquitoes. I got bitten all over, especially one in between my butt cheeks (sorry, I didn't know how else to be delicate), and of course I scratched which made it way worse, so I had to get a large tube of ointment to deal with what happened when I scratched. next time I think I'll go for some afterbite or whatever makes it stop itching. And, yes, I suppose if Kimm was tented in a house, she'd probably kill the termites, but I suspect the mosquitoes would die of sheer happiness. Those little so-and-so's just don't care-they'll bite you no matter what
