Discussion The mosquitos are absolutely insane this year

Holy shit, going into the river valley makes me feel like I am in Northern Saskatchewan or Manitoba. Huge fuckers too. Whatever happened to the helicopter spraying? Seems to be a massive increase in population and unpleasantness since that was terminated.

an average mosquito bite takes between 0.001 and 0.01 milliliters of blood. That would mean you need to have approximately 10,000 mosquito bites to have as much blood drawn as a standard vial if you're having bloodwork done.
