Godzilla-Sized Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes |
||||
They say that the Godzillas (as I fondly refer to them) don't bite, but when I see a mosquito with 3 to 4 inch legs, I don't take chances. I take the nearest, largest object and hit as hard as possible. Godzillas are so big that they resemble a big of ground beef in texture after being smushed. If you have mosquito netting, bring it. Even my dog couldn't sleep sometimes because of the hordes of mosquitoes whistling thirstily for blood. I had to run the air-conditioner on high during mosquito season so I could sleep fully-clothed and under a thick, protective blanket. Sometimes, I also buried my head and actually breathed through a straw, but I usually worried so much about accidentally inhaling a mosquito that I wouldn't fall asleep. Those green coils that give off a stinky smoke do nothing. You can sleep with 50 of them outlining your body and still get bitten nine or ten times in one night. Those little scented candles seem to only light the way to your delicious blood. During the Summer of '98, I got so many bites that I still have scars polka-dotting my arms and legs. What finally saved me was this small, round electrical thing that heated a small smelly pad that miraculously worked. I just had to slip a new smelly pad in every night. The smell is barely noticable for humans. Buy one when you get here. They are not expensive and worth every won. |
