It's not an easy task. The problem is that by being under the covers you can no longer hear the blood-sucker approaching and finding that one damned spot you left vulnerable. An elbow. A pinky toe. Your forehead.
Sometimes I wonder why mosquitos make the noise they make: after all, it warns us to duck and cover. Then I think maybe other species don't hear the mosquito and the sound we hear is a warning system set-up in the human body. I wonder if mosquitos and other blood suckers prefer a certain blood type, say for example mine, which is O+, since I always seem to be bothered the most. And then I wander off to sleep with only my airways poking out of a sea of bedcovers.
For the third consecutive time, I have awakened to discover that the mosquito has bitten me on the EYELID. Let me tell you this is the most annoying place to have an itch, and the resulting swelling not only makes me look like a descendent of the Elephant Man but also lays pressure on the eye, which makes me feel sleepy all day. I am now going out to buy straws, so I can cover my entire head for the next round.

Came across your post while searching for truths I simply KNOW to exist about these little fuckers and their attraction to type O+ blood (which, of course, I have). Anyway, just thought I'd say thanks for 1. making me laugh hysterically (to the point that friends are now giving me funny looks) and 2. for reminding me that I'm not the only one who's grumbling....
Rock on lady - for whatever the hell that means!
Pearlgem: I feel your O pos pain, or itch, that is. It "sucks," doesn't it?!
Wow. I also share your 0+ pain. I was trying to confirm my theory that we get targeted more than others and stumbled upon your blog. I'll now take it as the truth.
Thanks, fellow O+ peeps.
You think mosquitos are bad... I recently found out that horseflies love O+ too, and their bites are MUCH worse!
