Reality Bites…

…And swells, itches , bruises and scars..

In contrast to vampires here,

only the Lady mosquitoes



bite and seek blood .

They need the iron and protein present in blood to aid in providing nutrition to their eggs.

And unlike her,



who HOSTS and courses through television for blood ,

the female mosquitoes seek out BLOOD HOSTS through their victims sweat.

Accordingly, human sweat would be “highly attractive” to them should they smell more of

Carbon dioxide and 1octen -3-ol or (mushroom alcohol ) which is contained in human sweat and breath.

And thus there would be people who would get bitten by these ladies
(mosquitoes) more than others.

With over 94.6 million population which reportedly the Philippines has,

my son Rafa and my husband Richard are one of those few who smell highly of
Carbon dioxide and 1octen -3-ol or (mushroom alcohol)…

(Carbon Dioxide?alcohol?)

The mosquitoes are the judge , the bites are the verdict.

I agree with the misnomer that “a mosquito bite is not a bite , it is a puncture” because after the “bite”, the skin of my precious ones become :

1. Swollen.

2. Very Itchy. ( understated )

3. Turns into Purple then after.

(bruises with which Manny Pacquiao’s fist and not mosquitoes would be the primary suspect)

4. and lastly, The bruise does not go away till the next season of American Idol comes around.

So we Chicco them..

Or we Organic Giga..



( they have kiosks in different malls)

Or you may gadget them ( with this mosquito like sound gadget)

Patch

Bracelet them also ( ideal for travelling )

As for the room, there is also one from Giga:

And of course good old reliable Baygon:

But if these pesky female got through:

You can get anti itch organic balm from All Organics

Or You can go to healthy options for this:
)The itch would disappear instantaneously)

Or try the EMU oil from the EMU bird. It would not only make the swollen part subside it would also make bruises and bites disappear..

I get mine from Hazel of Veruca

Yeah, Well all these armaments for the Lady Mosquitoes.

But if I remember it right, when I was little, we only had this:



AND this:



Which incidentally resembles quite a lot like the logo of a t.v station:

Perhaps the station put that up to ward off

this mosquito:

Which is probably running after the Heart which pumps blood:
