Yes I am...when I went to Greece a few years ago I ended up with 50 bites on one leg and 40 on the other. I'm not even exaggerating, it was horrendous and absolutely agonising.

Needless to say, I wont be going back there in a hurry.

Yes they love me, can't get enough of me. :D
The first few times I went abroad I was eaten alive, legs covered etc, even at home in winter I have to wear repellent at night so that the buggers can't sneak up on me. They just find me.

I get bit all the time. I hate being in mosquito prone areas. It is one of the reason I avoid the outdoors.

Mosquito repellant, and salve moisturizer. If you in an infested hotel room, with crawlies creeping around, leave the fans on and consider leaving small traps.

Not really, they never liked me or my mother for some reason.

Even when I am around them, they usually go for someone else ( don't like rotten meat apparently ).

I've never been bitten by a mosquito. Probably because I'm so stressed out . . .

They only bite me if they have no other choice.

No, I never use spray and can't remember the last time I was bitten (if ever). Someone told me they dislike Marmite and I eat gallons of the stuff, so that might be why. My blood Marmite level bounces around 96% on most days.
