The worst year ever - I am just wall-to-wall. Anyone else in So Cal experience this?
New mosquitoes in So Cal?
You know scientists could easily eliminate all mosquitoes from the face of the Earth, but it’s the hippy dippy types that won’t let them do it.
I need them eliminated!!! These are huge welts, they turn black and blue. It’s horrible.
Here in the midwest that is. It seems like it’s always late summer that people seem to get it.
The plan was to genetically modified super sexy yet sterile female mosquitos. The males would ignore the normal females, and then they would all die.
It’s 90 degrees here - all the way through October. No mosquitos have died. I am not wearing shorts anymore.
Here in Florida, in the summer, after it rains, forget it. You can’t go out of your house. And if you do, when you open the door, you let about 100 of them in even with a screened door. The Florida Keys have mosquitos the size of B-52’s, aggressive as hell and when they sting it feels like someone burned you with a lit cigarette. Other than that I love it here!
I find that (a) on keto, I am eating so much less sugar that mosquitoes no longer find me particularly attractive, and (b) garlic works equally well on mosquitoes and vampires.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that even when I get bitten, the reaction is not nearly as strong as it used to be, pre-keto.
