Eeww! Just looking at this picture makes me itch! I was eaten alive the other day and caught completely off guard by a troop of very hungry mosquitos! What are they after, aside from my blood?! What attracts them to me?

Here is a list of stuff that mosquitos are drawn to:

1. Sweating a lot. If you've been pushing your mower in the heat you smell mighty good.

2. Sweaty feet. Oh, they like the funk!

3. Your breath. Mosquitos love carbon dioxide and some people give off more than     others, it depends on your metabolism.

4. Dark clothing. It's just easier for them to see. If you wear light clothing they might scoot right by you. Unless your feet stink...

5. Being hammered. Mosquitos like a good buzz as much as the next guy.     Researchers have tried to discover why mosquitos like alcohol, but the mosquitos       kept falling asleep.

So, today we have learned that to avoid being bitten by mosquitos we must have good hygiene, be sober, wear deodorant and hold our breath. If you can't keep up with this very strict regimine, this video might help. It does not involve DEET or soap.

I am so involved with DEET that we share a cell phone bill.
