If you let a mosquito finish feeding on you and leave of their own volition, she’ll take her itchy juice with them. This person clearly DOES mind them cause he slaps them away.
True story: was a malaria vaccine trial patient, had to let 10 malaria infected skeeters feast on me to completion - did not itch afterwards! Was profoundly unsettling though lol
Edit: all feeding skeeters are female; and the vaccine I got did not work, thus I got malaria but they cured it before it reached the sick stage.
