A mosquito in the hand is worth two in the Busch.

[FlingWingFlyer]

No but it does draw bar flies.

[silent majority rising]

There is nothing worse than a drunk mosquito. Just sayin’.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Not much broadleaf plantain right around here, so I just rub on some 95% DEET. Mosquitos aren’t really that bad a problem in southern Arizona anyway, though we do get some during the summer rains.

And sodas

This is timely. I am currently in Amsterdam, staying at a B & B on the Kaisersgeracht (canal), (unusually for me) having a beer with dinner, and am being eaten alive by mosquitos during the night. 20 bites at least during the last 10 days.

Fun times.

[SunkenCiv]

Probably they're attracted by the buzz.

[Joe 6-pack]

O+ blood type is known to attract mosquitoes, and unfortunately, I can attest to that. I can be in a room with 100 people and one mosquito and I’ll get bit twice.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Plantain grows everywhere here.
It works and it doesn’t taste bad.

[Bobbyvotes]

No. It is just the aroma wafting in air. You don’t inhale it by smoking in a pipe.
