MOSQUITO MISERY

TODAY’S WORRY

If a mosquito were blogging its “A” list restaurants (see below), I would be on the top of the list. There is just something so delectable about Marymom to a mosquito.

Have you ever noticed that there are some people who can sit on a porch at dusk and never get bitten while another person has a cloud of mosquitoes around them? Mosquitoes find their prey by smell. Their antennae pick up the wafting carbon dioxide and heat emanating from people. People who give off more carbon dioxide and heat and a host of other smells tend to get bitten more. People who perspire get bit more than those who don’t.

So I can imagine that when I stepped out of the car here in Marco Island, a buzz went up, “SHE’S BACK!!!!”
