Mosquitoes Have a Day Acknowledging Their Existence…Seriously

You’re kidding me, right. But no is it World mosquito day tomorrow, August 20th

Too bad it is on a Saturday, or maybe we could lobby to make it a national holiday so we could get a day off work, he typed with tongue in cheek.

The reason for world mosquito day is actually for a real reason, and not to thank them for their existence or to offer them our exposed skin

August 20th marks the 125th year since scientists linked mosquitoes to the spread of malaria. Hence, World Mosquito Day

No way did they have bug spray back in those days. But maybe we can use it as a reminder that if you're going into the woods tomorrow, make sure any exposed skin has bug spray on it

And tomorrow night when you're sitting around the campfire listening to Rowdy Yates, don't stray too far away from the fire pit without bug spray

There is actually a website that tracks mosquito population in every state of the country, and predicts local mosquito populations up to seven days in advance. Here's a link to a story explaining it

Mosquitoes have always been attracted to me. Maybe it's fair skin. But science says they are drawn to body heat and lactic acid, a substance your body emits when you sweat, as well as carbon dioxide which you expel when you breathe.

Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colored clothing much like your goth teenage daughter. Mosquitoes can detect even small areas of exposed skin, so when you go in the woods long sleeves,long pants , a hat and bug spray.

Doesn’t rain have to do with the swell in the population of mosquitoes? And with the rain the past few days, and the expected rain many days next week, my fear is we are not done with those buggers just yet this summer.

OK Mr Mosquito I dare you. I don't care if it is World Mosquito day tomorrow land on me and you'll get the life slapped out of you. But other than that celebrate your day.
