If at one time it was thought mosquitoes couldn’t survive in desert climates, this city is a case study in how wrong that is.

Baloney. We have tons of mosquitos in the Phoenix area, probably exacerbated by people with swimming pools and decorative ponds.

As an aside, they don't seem to like the way I taste. People around me can be being eaten alive by mosquitos, but they hardly touch me.

My wife is that way, untouched. While those damn lawyer bugs drain be dry.

“As an aside, they don’t seem to like the way I taste. People around me can be being eaten alive by mosquitos, but they hardly touch me.”

The itching from mosquito bites is basically an allergic reaction. They’re biting you, you’re just not allergic to them. At least that’s what I read somewhere.

I’m one of the tasty people. When I was young and living in an area with a few mosquitos I woke up one morning with over 50 bites. My roommate had none.
