Wow, you're in some shithole village in GZ, and the only thing that annoys you is the mosquitoes? I'm impressed.

well what else is suppose to annoy me? Mind explaining?
There's really no other insects other than mosquitoes! Well there are the typical flies, bees, and ants, but they they don't bite!
this village is a 30min drive away from GuangZhou.
At first I wasn't used to the thick, smelly air, but now i'm used to it.

For those ppl who have never faced Chinese mosquitoes..
these mosquitoes are way different than those we face in Vancouver.
Chinese mosquitoes are faster, smater, bigger, stronger, and deadlier than vancouver mosquitoes.
In fact, I'm starting to believe all chinese mosquitoes have NOS in their systems. Each time I slap my hand on them, they fly away so fast that they litterally vanish.
On top of their speed, I try to use the smell of those mosquito-killing burning stick to have fewer bites at night. But somehow, those mosquitoes fly to the other side of the room where the smell doesn't reach them. They hide and wait for the absolute best moment to strike!
Once I actually slapped my hand on a mosquitoe in the shower, but when i lifted my hand up the mosquitoe flew away. I was so amazed.

Like you, pesky Mosquitoes like to bite me too. Last week one mosquito bit me four fricken times! I managed to kill that greedy bastard and it was oozing with my blood. Anyhow, if it itches, turn the water on real hot and heat up the bite area. It will stop itching for a good while. I think the Therapik works similar (basically using heat to neutralize the itchiness).

I like China, but there are certainly a lot of things that annoy me about the place.. Those are just a few I immediately thought of when you asked the question what is supposed to annoy you. If these things don't annoy you, like I said before, I am impressed!  | |

The other actities don't happen continously to start bothering me.
I notice those other things, but they don't reach the point where i feel negative.

Is there any way to reduce the number of bites?
Perhaps eat more of a certain kind of food?
also, what do you use in china for mosquitoe bites?
So far I'm just using hand sanitizer for these bites! LOL | Sucks.. I was there in May.... and I got raided too...
I literally had over 50 bites on my leg one night.. in a span of 15 minutes..
Gawd.. Im going back in Nov... I will be much more prepared this time.

Guanzhou mosquitos are vicious. I've been there lol
I had bites all over my leg, some of them creating these weird "poks" that can be popped. Just like bubbles.
It was disgusting

i just came back from japan and some shit bit me pretty bad.
one bite on the forearm and my whole fucking forearm is swollen, from hand to elbow. weird thing was that there was a red trail/line starting from the bite all the way up to my armpit. i think it's the poison, i dont know..
came back home yesterday and the swelling eased. i used an icepack for it wen i sleep.
i think the humidity and the heat has something to do with the swelling.

To prevent bites, use bug repellent (duh). Make sure to use something with DEET! Everything else is pretty much useless.
I'm lucky, for some reason I rarely get bit by mosquitoes in Asia, even if everyone around me is getting eaten alive. They must not like my white blood  | I'm not sure if this is the same thing as Mopidick, but that's what my parents had us use when we were kids...  | |
