rural mosquito I think is worse because they feed on all sorts of other dirty animals, not just people, urban mosquito more likely to feed on just other people so their mouth doesn't contain so much extracurricular nastiness when they bite. it's not the mosquito bite that sucks, it's the bio-filth they picked up from all the other bitees.

although obviously jaws jaws is the real killer

EVERYTHING BITE ME I FEELZ SO BITEY OH LOARD

Last Saturday I woke up with 13 spider bites, while John J was practically untouched (only 1 bite)

I'm going to kill the next spider I see and nail it to our door as a warning to all the other spiders. It was much more painful and itchy then any mosquito bite I've ever had.

well yeah spiders have like venom and shit

I think I got a spider bite on one of my toes actually, it was giving me hell this morning for about a minute.

You guys should read BITTEN by Pamela Nagami, M.D. It is about how people get fucked up by bites, with chapters on different animals and even one on HUMAN BITE HUMAN.

Tom you don't actually believe that about the cleanliness of humaniverous urban mosquitos, do you?

true story: i have jaws's old desk in my house. it's really fucking huge and nice.

SHARKS HAVE DESKS?????

yes. they trade gossip over the chum-bucket.

I dunno Kerm that's just my hypothesis on why bites from the woods last 3 days on me while bites gathered in large settlements of humans last 24 hours as a general maximum, sometimes half that

I got eaten alive one night on an air force base one time and them shits disappeared by the next morning

That's because of all the alien activity near air force bases. Were you probed?

This needs an option for children at work.

horse flies are the worst :(

my natural defense against horse flies is to attempt to dive underwater, this is difficult when there is no water nearby

The bite from a larger specimen can be singularly painful, especially considering the light, agile, and airborne nature of the fly. Unlike insects which surreptitiously puncture the skin with needle-like organs, horse flies have mandibles like tiny serrated scimitars, which they use to rip and/or slice flesh apart. This causes the blood to seep out as the horsefly licks it up. They may even carve a chunk completely out of the victim, to be digested at its leisure.

The horsefly's modus operandi is less secretive than that of its mosquito counterparts, although it still aims to escape before pain signals reach their mark's sphere of awareness. Moreover, the pain of a horsefly bite may mean that the victim is more concerned with assessing and repairing the wound, than finding and swatting the interloper.

:O

yeah, there were times I would try to dive underwater in too shallow rivers to avoid them.

horseflies are really bad.

almost their equals are the green flies of chincoteague, ocracoke, cape hatteras, and the rest of the outer banks. if the beach mosquitos don't do you in, those green f*ckers will. they look just like regular flies except they've got shiny green bodies.

When I was a kid, my family spent a week in a family friend's airstream trailer on the NC coast. It rained the entire week, and there were *clouds* of mosquitoes. They came in when you flushed the toilet. We attempted one day out on the beach when it was only sprinkling and got eaten alive. The day we left my dad pulled the Plymouth Satellite up close to the door of the trailer, and we all raced to get into car and the hell out of there.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
