Mosquitos and other biting pests

OwenMoney:
Within a minute or two after the mosquito starts to ‘feed’ on a human, she then urinates and defecates on you to make room for your blood.

Meh…That will just be food for the tiny little creatures that live on our skin, things like Demodex that live inside the follicles of your hairs, there’s thousands of other things like that too, we are each of us a walking ecosystem of little beasties, as gross as that might sound.

The really unpleasant thing about mosquitoes (if we’re talking about Anopheles mosquitoes) is that she shares her “passengers” with you, the single-celled organism Plasmodium that lives inside your liver and red blood cells, and which causes malaria.
