Maybe the risk is not as high as it could be here. Bites can be painful too ,besides of course Malaria .Nile virus etc.

I have to admit, Jemma, that I'm pretty passive about protecting myself from Mosquitos. Probably should be a little more cautious than I am.

This is unique and unusual to see a blood filled belly.
I am cautious of mosquitoes and put myself on a regimen of meds when i go to India.

Yup, and probably mine:). I love most insects, but Mosquitos are difficult to like except in pictures.
