Ya know, I don't really mind the blood sucking part of mosquitoes. I don't like it, but that's their thing, so can't complain about that.

It's the dang diseases and the itch from hell that comes with it. Why can't they just suck blood in peace?

Saw it recommended on reddit before and got one recently, kind of trickier to use than I though you have to wait for the bites to get more visible and make sure you get the burner pad on.

It doesn't actually like burn your flesh but it does hurt pretty good

Seriously! I will SHARE my blood with you if you're not an asshole about it.

I just returned from three weeks of mostly tent camping. Those assholes wouldn't even let me close the tent door in the morning before landing on my legs.

It's a blood thinner. That itch comes because we are allergic to the blood thinner they inject so they can suck more easily.

Some people claim to not get bitten by mosquitoes ever. That's false, they are simply not allergic to the blood thinner and nothing shows up after the mosquitoes leave, so they don't think they were bitten.
