Writing in summer is a bit of a challenge because mosquitoes are everywhere out to get you.
Mosquito bites cause severe itching and when you write something, it is really hard to ignore the itch. I have one on my fingers that really hurts even though you can barely see it. People with type B blood group are more likely to have mosquitoes bite them. I think I am an electromosquitomagnet charged to the maximum. The most annoying thing about the bite is not the itch. Well the itch does help. The mosquitoes take a bit of your blood each time they bite you. Only the females suck our blood and the males just suck sap. Female mosquitoes use our blood to replace the vitamins that they do not have. The more blood they take from us, the more vitamins they get to make larva. They lay their larvae in water. And every bite is another batch of larva. Remember every bite is at least another sixteen mosquitoes. They will keep on reproducing until they have an army and start taking over the world with their bites. Don’t go around being jealous of the animals. Female mosquitoes bite animals as well. Luckily for us we know how to make mosquito repellants and bug sprays. Mosquito bites can lead to some infections and some bites can cause Malaria, the world’s oldest recorded disease as far as I know. When cases of malaria sprouted back in the Roman times they would dry the nearby swamps and marshlands and the cases dropped. There is a cure to malaria. In Peru, people were eating a special bark and scientists discovered the material as Quinine. It was not a vaccine but it worked as a cure. Thus, the cure was found long before the cause of the disease became known. There wasn’t much science in the world at that time.
