    A quick PS. My cholesterol is normal and I don't pee myself yet so it isn't because of the normal things we think this is. It is apparently a scent that people excrete that attract the mosquitoes.

    I worked in a medical office for over 18 years. Medical magazine articles that I've read said mosquitoes are attracted to uria and cholesterol which are components of pee and fat. Unfortunately I get eaten alive by the little buggers.

    Polk County sounds like DuPage County vs. Cook County Illinois....Laws, ESPECIALLY GUN LAWS are MUCH MORE SEVERE in DuPage, vs Cook. I've taken the Citizen Police ( private citizen class).... Those Officers told me that they aim to " make an example " of each criminal they imprison.. ( average sentence...??? 20 years ....!!!) savve criminals tend to avoid their bad behavior in Du Page County Illinois...😊❤

    Was on a walk and saw this hairy as fuck guy ahead of me on the trail. Hair sticking through his shirt. I walk fast so caught up with him and saw some of his hairs fly off his back. 😱😱😱 So told him and asked if he wanted me to squash em. Yep! He was OK with it. So I walked with him and periodically swatted mosquitoes off him as they landed. I barely got bit. 🤷‍♀️

    Let them bite you and suffer short term. In the long run you’ll thank me. You become completely immune to their bites and don’t even get a reaction. Kind of like drinking alcohol day by day and having a higher tolerance as a result; eventually you become immune.

      Lmaooo. My step mom and best friend are Asian, they not only get bit more than us, they have such bad reactions! The bumps were huge. I've wondered if it had anything to do with Asian skin "microbiomes" or if it's just entirely coincidental. My daughter is also the same way, she got eaten up a few weeks ago and it looked like her legs had an allergic reaction, I felt awful for her. On the plus side, it's easier to get her to come inside now when the mosquitoes start coming out in the evening lol
