Sure know my "scandinavian friends". August evening in
"Norrland", you hear them bargaining for the best blood...
Nevertheless - mosquitos search you out by the CO2
in your exhale. Some food might "mask" the CO2, but not
completely. The notation that they don't bother you after a
while, is probably more due to your (possibly sub-conscious)
learning of how to avoid.
After two years and some, they bother me mostly by waking me up
by the sound. Another two years, and I'll probably have a
sub-conscious reflex to wave them off without waking up...
The south coast have a specie that is very small, almost silent,
and painless at "sting-time". You notice it a couple of hours
later. No fun at all...
My best advice: sleep under a mosquito-net, use repellants
otherwise. Pay attention! Don't let that chocolate paper
lay around, if you don't eat all of your food, get it out of
your vicinity quick! Be pedantic about cleanliness, approaching
ridiculus levels - we wet-sweep the house three times a day!
I don't mind some problems, but people who come here for
a few, precious days might want to savvy those days for
something better than the local hospital...
