TheShader Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I remember being a kid and being told after like 24 I wouldn't be able to hear mosquitos due to the natural hearing loss humans experience as they age. Just something that popped into my head as I'm nursing my hangover with a mosquito annoyingly buzzing in my ear that I can definitely hear at the ripe age of 37.

I saw four swarming my legs last night and smashed em all with claps! Felt like a damn super hero! And, hot damn, the pesky one bothering me made the mistake of landing on my hand while I typed this out and not moving while I got my other hand in firing position. Another sucker down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they actually land on me is pretty much the only time I can see 'em! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Mosquitoes are actually pretty rare (inside of homes or away from bodies of water at least) around here, so I have no idea! They've never really been a problem I've had to think about, which I am extremely thankful for because that shit would drive me nuts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a blue moon they show up, but otherwise this is true. And I'm reminded of it every summer because I thank whatever god or deity will listen to me that my front porch isn't flooded with June bugs like they were a sign of the apocalypse.

AbsolutSurgen Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I can't hear them anymore, except when I hit them with the mosquito racquet. The sound and smell of burning mosquitos is cathartic. This August has been unusually bad for them due to the high amount of rain we had early in the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
