Mosquito bite on my leg. My body does not react well to these. x( I am so glad we don't have these fuckers in Britain. They don't carry malaria here, right? ;)

3. You are quite the delicate flower, aren't you?
First terrorists, now mosquitoes. I think you need a bodyguard until your vacation ends. :hi:

8. Just West Nile Virus and heartworms.
Of course, the heartworms are only a concern if you're a dog. I've seen photos, so I know you're not. It's unlikely you'll get West Nile. I've donated gallons of blood to mosquitos over the years and I'm fine.

mosquito, and I'd be a happy girl! :) Stupid freakin' bloodsuckers...

It was wonderful. I loved it! I'm sure I was near you when we traveled from London up the east coast to Scotland. We went inland for a bit and then more toward the coast. :) I had a great time.

20. Nasty critters, mosquitoes
better than black flies though. No malaria but watch out for signs of encephalitis. Feel sleepy much?

Admittedly, one bite in nearly two weeks is pretty good. When I was in West Bengal last year, it was AWFUL. And some of those ones DO carry malaria.

37. Mosquitos really suck
I should know. I'm from the South (their main breeding ground) and I guess they think my blood is extra sweet because they're ALL over me when I'm at camp...:(
