A little tidbit in case someone's thinking of visiting India with regards to mosquitos. Alright, so I remember when I used to visit and such, these bastards would bite me and I'd be scratching for almost a week. It was .. highly.. annoying.

But the reason why you itch/scratch so much is because all humans are allergic to mosquito saliva. I've noticed lately that I don't itch nearly as long as I used to. That's right, basically I've been getting 'allergy shots' of mosquito saliva every day that I get bitten. As a result, the reaction isn't nearly as severe, which means that it'll be bothersome for about 20 minutes, and then that's IT. All done. Damn, that's great.

I wonder what'd happen if I start biting people. Would it itch? Some of the lingering questions about our universe....
