MOSQUITOES SUCK

If you’re planning to do some summer camping this year you might want to test this cool old folklore for dealing with mosquitoes. Supposedly, holding your breath while the mosquito is sucking your blood will lock the bug’s mouth to your skin which will enable you to smash (I mean capture and release) the bug at your leisure. But wait, there’s more... hold your breath long enough and the now trapped mosquito will continue to suck blood until the entire little critter explodes! Please let me know if this works.

Holding your breath will only make you want to explode. I think the trick is to pinch & squeeze the part of the skin that the mosquito has drilled into so as to hold its proboscis in place. Then it'll overload and pop. Gruesome but gratifying!

"hold its proboscis in place."

for some reason that sounds a little hot...
