I have 21 mosquito bites at the moment.
Knock on wood, but I haven't contracted west nile YET.

Is it just because I live on Lake Ontario, or do you USA people have major moquito infestations too? And has West Nile hit the States yet? (For all I know it could have started there....)

I had eight all in the same general area on my back. Then my shirt got stuck to the calamine lotion. Pfft. I hate mosquitos. I feel for you.

What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

We do have West Nile here. We get many mosquitos in GA. I haven't heard of too many cases of West Nile in my area though.

That's horrible. Mojitos, on the other hand, are not so horrible.

I had a bight on my arm last week which was weird, becasue I've lived here in San Diego all my life and I never got a mosquito bight while in my house it was only when I went camping for the first time when I was like 13 that I even knew what a mosquito was...

*goes and chugs back a box of salt*
ewwwww

I've been chasing one around my room for 20 minutes now trying to kill it. But I have dye in my hair at the moment, which is making it quite difficult. This one's already got my ankle and my shoulder.

They're RUTHLESS!!!

There is a literally a swamp in my backyard, so I used to get eaten up all the time as a kid.
I think that's why I'm afraid to go outside now.
Hmmm...

Stay away from bananas during mosquito season.
I swear that the more bananas I eat, the more bug bites I get.

One time I read the label wrong, and sprayed area spray directly onto my skin. THAT wasn't pretty.

As I sit here scratching my 10 plus bites, I'm fearing the same thing re: West Nile. So far, there have been 4 cases in Miami-I do not want to be the fifth.... We called mosquito control, but they have yet to spray here.
Yuck.

Mosquitos seem to love me.... I currently have 39 bites all over my body, and since I have a minor allergic reaction whenever I get bitten, most of my body is swollen up like a balloon at the moment. Supposedly, if you stand near a person who gets bitten a lot, the mosquitos will leave you alone and just go for the person you are with. This must be why I am so popular in the summer...

There aren't really any mosquitos down here....Ah, I love valleys. Except for the whole trapping-heat thing.

We have a severe mosquito problem here on Long Island (New York) as well. I've had to give up on my efforts to raise koi or water lilies in my backyard pond--it seems it was always a breeding ground for mosquitos. Instead, I have the pond and fountain operating with chlorine in the water. It looks and sounds pretty, but it smells like a municipal swimming pool.

I'm sure one of Jerry Baker's books has a better solution for you than using chlorine. I would check it out. Maybe you can put some plants and koi back without worrying.
