Why do mosquitoes always bite you in the worst places?

    I awoke this morning to discover that in spite of wearing pyjamas, some enterprising mosquito or mosquitoes had managed to find their way inside the bottoms overnight in order to give me two bites on one bum cheek, and one on the other, plus a further one on the back of my thigh about 6 inches down from the right cheek.

    Now I can't help wondering why they didn't just bite me on the hand, my face, or even my arm if the sleeve slid up a bit in my sleep, but for some reason they decided to bite me on the arse was more amusing, hence I have been scratching all day, and have four huge red bumps, three of which are on my bum cheeks, (I shall leave this horrific vision to your imaginations), suffice to say it isn't pleasant, and I reckon one of the fly / mosquito killing lights I wrote about recently on a hub of mine are now top of my Christmas list.

    Hello how are you? Well a recent study shows that the level of stress determines or I should say attracts these nasty bitters to you. So I am sure the work place has many people who are stressed out and frustrated. Thank You for reading my reply.

    Golly, I must be more stressed than I thought. Cheers for the comment smile

    No I didn't, I think they had absailing equipment and excavation tools, and simply found their way below the waistband, unless my bottom half slipped down in the night, (but it was all correctly in place by this morning).

    Certainly figures, but these ones I reckon are genetically modified to have supreme intelligence and espionage abilities.

    I would imagine this is going to draw a lot of male mosquitoes to this thread, even though only the females bite.   ;p

    The thought that the little buggers are busy feasting away while you're sleeping is a bit disconcerting. Who knows how long they actually take until they're finished.Yip!

    You are lucky, we only get snow about every 7 or 8 years, and then for 24 hours if we are lucky. Right now it is only wet and windy, so I reckon they come in for a warm, sheltered place to sleep and a tasty snack, i.e. my arse!!!

    Yep, that is pretty scary too,and why do they only bite me, and not my hairy hubby? Is it because they didn't bring their miners lamps to find their way through the forest of hair he has on both his chest and back???

    Not sure about Denno66's comments...

    But, one way to stop them biting your arse (other than some really imaginative methods) is to drink lemonade that you make from scratch.  Mosquitos do not like acidic blood.  I usually drink 1 - 2 cups everyday during the wet months here, and never a bite.  The day I miss one cup...and I'll be eaten alive!  Also, if you eat a lot of bananas, the potassium will attract them to you.
