HHAHAHAHAHA, I know what you mean!!! Then there's also another nasty around where I live in Indiana called a chigger(sp?) This nasty is worst then mosquitoes! The bumps and itching provided by the chigger lasts about 2 months and will leave red scars for about a year before fading away, so since I go camping a lot I just have a constant flow of these red spots. Even after applying bug lotion they still go at you, and I hate using that stuff because I know it's probably not good to have insecticide on you skin, but without it I get very chewed up. They seem to prefer the last foot or so of your leg. I'll go to a campsite and fog the area's trees and grass on the campsite before laying down the tent, then use the bug lotion and still end up with chiggers and mosquito bites, but not as bad if I don't do anything.
