Scratch any of those areas -- which you certainly will after being bitten -- and you soon look like you've been knocked around pretty well. And they're too tiny to whack -- that's the worst part.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004136159072085450.post-29223232678200374352007-09-06T16:01:00.000-05:002007-09-06T16:01:00.000-05:00Oh, those little teensy biting ones are the worst!...Oh, those little teensy biting ones are the worst!

This kept them bite-free during the night, but during the day they got bitten so badly it was awful. Worse still, their nursery school teachers refused to believe that their bites were mosquito bites. I had to go to a dermatologist to get him to convince them that some children -- Caucasians in particular -- react badly to mosquitos.<BR/><BR/>Here in Scotland, we have midges, similar to no-see-ums in America, and a pain in the neck. I'm sure that biting insects have some purpose in this world, but I often wonder what it is. 'Food for bats' just isn't enough of an answer for me...Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.com
