The one (and only) time I went camping I had what felt like hundreds at once - think probably 20-30 of them! This year none so far (haha so just jinxed myself didn't I?)

Hope yours go away soon and are not too itchy blistex!

The best thing to do when there are tonnes of mosquitoes around... spray the repellent on THEM! It's fun!!!

:shock:got so many one time(years ago when I wasn't so smart as it turned out) that i needed med treatment asap.I never go to the trailer without my bug stuff and use it now. My kids have never forgotten that night and keep their bug stuff handy too.
For the few bites now I use Arius and swear by it.

One million? I never counted because they all melded together but when I camped as a kid I was pretty oblivious to the bugs until the next day. Had them all over my face, legs, chest somehow? I was obviously wearing a shirt. Those things are ruthless.

I had over 15 new bites after visiting a zoo in china. I think I have an allergic reaction to them because they all swelled up 5 times it's size and then it turned reddish purple and left scars. =(

One summer ( 3 years ago?) in Sask my father got 6 bites walking from the airport (after dropping me off) to the car... and that was a very short walk. That was a bad year for 'skeeters'..
