[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a salt marsh in Anne Arundel county. Y'all don't know what mosquitoes are.  I get bit 100-150 times an hour, most of the time in peak season. I don't spray, it kills pollinators. I don't use deet, it's a neurotoxin.

I'll tell ya this though. I moved here 15 years ago, and after about 3 years, I stopped reacting to mosquito bites.

That's what happens. Your body eventually stops producing the hystamine reaction to something it recognizes as common.

I still get bit like crazy.  I just don't itch or get bumps anymore.

So go out and build your immunity. [/quote]

Let me get this straight. Your suggestion is for people to go out and let hundreds or thousands of bugs harvest on them in order to decrease the bumps and itchiness over a period of years? This is possibly the most asinine advice I've ever read on here. The itchiness and bumps aren't the most bothersome parts of mosquito bites, and no, I'm not going to let hundreds of mosquitoes harvest on me and my children. You're nuts.
