A mosquito bite is worse than a dog bite these days, until and unless the dog is a mad-hound. Dog-bite will at the most invite wound-dressing, medicines and injections should assure you that everything is back to normal. Not that I am suggesting you to get a dog-bite but mosquito bite…it sure will keep you in suspended animation for a day or two about the ‘possibilities’.
Closing windows as soon as the sun starts going down, mosquito repellants etc. all have not been able to keep mosquitos down for too long. Seeing immunity of mosquitos grow, even mosquito-repellant manufacturing companies have introduced double-power repellants and machines. But mosquitos still find a way…
The familiar buzzing sound is enough to send you in a tizzy. Getting-rid of that 'Monster Mosquito' becomes immediate challenge, even if you hear one in the middle of the night. The other day, woken-up by the buzzing sound a mosquito we spent some 30 minutes in the dead of the night trying to hunt it down, fearing it may otherwise 'hunt' us instead. The mosquito was smart and played guerilla war-games with us for quite some time.
Wonder where it is learning all this. There must be some Mosquito training camps run by somewhere by the big stinking drain near the Central Silk Board junction. You can also probably find 'one' at a drain near you ( I am sure you will have 'one' in your locality or near your locality).
In the end, unable to find the mosquito and having lost 30 minutes of our precious sleep, we gave-up. But as soon we switched-off the lights, the mosquito snooped on us again as we could again hear the irritating buzzing sound. As if the mosquito was mocking us. Another couple of minutes of 'Mission Mosquito' did not bear any result. We must be among the dumbest mosquito hunters.
Unfortunately the world is filled with mosquitos and dogs… and…there are no dirth of stinking drains either.
Bite is its' Art,
Blood is its' will,
If Dogs don’t get you,
Mosquitos will!
