    I have two defences against mosquitos.

    Thick body hair they tangle in, and my body acclimates to regional mosquitos so I don’t get itchy.

      Acclimating happened when I moved here! I’d get eaten alive at sunset, itchy for 20 minutes. Now? I can’t remember an itchy bite, not for 20 years.
