#NOT about mosquito bites.

[twinliches]

uh oh! I started scratching the itch in hope of immediate relief but instead i exerbated both the sensation and the urge to prevent it and now i am unable to stop until it bleeds.

Did you ever wonder WHY some people get MORE bug 🦟 bites than others?

Nope, it's NOT your "blood type" or because you have "sweet blood."

Instead: It's got to do with your gut bacteria!

Certain species of mosquitoes actually prefer feeding on humans & show preferences between people...depending on your SKIN MICROBIOTA!

Your skin microbiota is an extension of your "gut microbiome" and is home to over 1000 different species of bacteria.

According to studies (Takken & Verhulst, 2017) our skin microbiome produces several "volatile compounds" that determines if mosquitos attack you!

Also, the LESS 👎 DIVERSE your skin microbiome, the MORE LIKELY you are to be "bug bait" too.

Sweat from people who have MORE diverse skin microbiomes is much less attractive to mosquitos than that from those with less diverse bacterial ecosystems.

Lastly, mosquitoes are attracted to ethanol that your body gives off AFTER you've been 🍷🍺🍾 drinking...eating sugary 🧁 ,dairy 🥛 starchy 🍚 salty 🍟 foods...or using AHA(Alpha Hydroxy Acid) skin products, due to the lactic acid they contain!

People acting like animals should have a use or a purpose so that they have the right to continue existing is one of the most regressive and annoying things that I keep seeing fucking EVERYWHERE.

Animals should be allowed to live and are important for the simple fact that they are here and alive. You see it a lot with insects. Just because they are personally annoying to you doesn't mean they are less deserving of life. Everything interacts with everything else to keep the whole world ticking around, and it is not up to us to upset that. So what if mosquitoes annoy you. I don't give a shit. They shouldn't be blanket exterminated because of this. Not to mention the fact that they are important. They are pollinators, food for other animals, but even if they weren't, even if they just did nothing, that wouldn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to exist. What gives you the authority to decide that, huh? Why are you so special?

This goes for humans too, by the way. Why must a person contribute or work or whatever to be worthy of being loved and supported? They're alive, and therefore have inherent value. If you think that isn't enough, then you are the problem. Have some god damn compassion, or failing that, just keep quiet.

Never will I forget the time an old man came into my work, and I went through my usual set of small talk and at the end of it he was like "Do you want to know an animal fact?" And IM INSANE ABOUT ANIMALS- SO of course I was like "Yes, please!" So he tells me the fastest animal in the world is a Panther. And that is just wrong? Even if you look at mammals, i think he meant a cheetah? He's in the middle of giving me a Google review and I of course think "well he obviously is miss guided, and as a fellow animal lover, he will want to know the correct answer! So I tell him the correct answer, and he looks so stunned, and then HE DELETES HIS REVIEW INFRONT OF ME!! I'll never forget you sir, and you false animal knowledge love. Is you masculinity truely that injured to be corrected once?

i think testosterone made me less appealing to mosquitoes. ive been hearing a mosquito in my room for the last few nights and have still to be bitten at all this year, i also don't remember being bitten much last year, which is funny because there are objectively a lot more mosquitoes around nowadays than when i was a kid, and back then i'd be covered in bite marks all summer long. and it's not only that they consider children more appealing than adults because i was definitely getting bitten a lot as an adult, before i started HRT.

Okay, so my younger sister has anxiety and therefore a psychiatric Service Dog. He is certified and trained, and has had experience going to restaurants. However, he is young, so while he follows rules, doesn’t chase others, and doesn’t make noise/disturb, he tends to sit by us instead of laying at our feet (just his comfort level).

We are currently on vacation in Northern Wisconsin, and visited a restaurant called Maiden Lakes Supper Club. While there, once we were seated and had ordered, I noticed a balding man side-eyeing us. He soon came over while our dog was sitting behind us, by the wall. He immediately told us that he had never seen a service dog “that didn’t just lay down at the owner’s feet and didn’t eat”. He was extremely critical and as soon as we said that he was staying by us and was still in training, he stormed off without giving us his name. We were incredibly upset - our dog was obedient, quiet, and stayed underneath our table, even when the waitresses came by.

We spoke with him afterwards, and he stated that as the owner, he was simply trying to protect the place. From the incorrigible beast of murder and mayhem known as the “service dog”. Now from what we’ve heard he was the manager, not the owner, but regardless we were furious with his behavior. If you or someone you know has a service dog and lives near Wisconsin or is planning on visiting, please turn them away from Maiden Lakes Supper Club! However, all of the food and other waitstaff were wonderful.

I am going to go love our dog severely while seething in my chair. Hope you all have better experiences with your service animals! Also, PLEASE don’t put fake service dog vests on your animal. It’s incredibly illegal and hurts the treatment and reputation of trained service dogs. Thank you for respecting our animals!

" They /can/ chew through concrete, this is true"

ㅤㅤ​" so was it an insult or an observation? 'cause i'm willin' to let the latter slide if ya acknowledge that me bitin' you would prob'ly hurt. "
