ahaha. hahahhhahahaha. i'm 70% sure that florida is just one huge land of mosquito magicians there's no other explanation
northern norway too... tried to act dignified in my grandmother's funeral some summers back but i was constantly waving away mosquitos or scratching... mosquitos also tend to leave me alone most of the time, but im scratching in all the photos (who takes photos at funerals)

i also remember waking up from a particularly painful bite on my finger one of those mornigns

I don't want to imagine things like this, Haiz why. D:
because idk how to talk about topics that don't center around myself : D "mosquito magicians, now that's interesting"

I can't go outside without getting bitten. Like, whenever I walk dogs, it's just... *points to swamp full of stagnant water next to house* there is the source of all evil

Bite them back. I mean I did, yesterday, that gnat's never going to attack another human.

(Well... in reality the gnat just randomly flew into my mouth while I was climbing and I swallowed it by accident. Either it was tired of life or it really did not know how to pick its opponents.)

That there is the most optimistic gnat in history.

Manitoba has such a huge mosquito problem that there are helecopters that go out and spray for them every year. It's called The Mosquito Capital of Canada.

Fire and brimstone would cleanse such a harbor of evil.

You need to insert your saliva into their veins and suck their blood if you want to go all the way.

In some places they breed sterile male mosquitos to help control the population

Fire and brimstone would cleanse such a harbor of evil.

This sounds familliar... Aaah yes now I remember.

You'd need a very big flamethrower for this. Or just a powerful fan (midges don't handle wind well). In my opinion dropping thermobaric warheads on the lake is an appropriate course of action in this case though.

And moose flies! They're truly gross flat things that like to lay their eggs on moose but sometimes mistake a human for one. We're thankfully not good for egg laying purposes but the feeling of running your hands through your hair and feeling a dozen flat beetle-like bugs clinging tight onto your scalp... eeeuuuuurrrgggh.

You need to insert your saliva into their veins and suck their blood if you want to go all the way.

That's a no and now I wish to bleach my imagination thank you.


Still, fire probably would work...

flamethrowers are the only correct response to mosquitoes.

I think we all had this exact same conversation once. Good to see people are consistant in their opinions though.

I promise that will be the worst thing I post today.

And moose flies! They're truly gross flat things that like to lay their eggs on moose but sometimes mistake a human for one. We're thankfully not good for egg laying purposes but the feeling of running your hands through your hair and feeling a dozen flat beetle-like bugs clinging tight onto your scalp... eeeuuuuurrrgggh.

Could be worse, I guess. But like Daéa, my urge to visit Iceland may or may not have dropped just a smidgen
