Cruel Little Monsters

So, I just went outside for one hour, 60 minutes, wearing full pants and a half sleeve shirt and what? I come back with 6 mosquito bites on one arm. Each tortured portion of my skin, which has been subjected to the cruelness of these blood sucking bugs, has caused my entire arm to swell up into a red inflammatory mess.

This is basically the only reason I do not like visiting India, a land swarming with mosquitos - unsympathetic to a girl allergic and attractive to mosquitoes.

Good news! I recently read that taking Vitamin B supplements makes your body produce an odor that is less attractive to mosquitoes. It usually takes two weeks for your body to form the odor after taking the pills however.
