Why do I seem to be immune from mosquito bites, while others will get dozens in one night? o_O

This was while I was on holiday; on some days I slept next to my younger brother who gets bitten like crazy, and the rest of the time I slept alone. It didn't make a difference - no bites.

your blood must taste awful then
this might help:

edit:

now that I am here anyway, perhaps someone could help me with English
I'm looking for a word, but I have no idea which one. What I can tell you is that it means being confused but it should end with -ment (I think lol)
It goes something like this:

..as if there was something missing. His reaction would be different and as she looked at him she could recognize something. Perhaps fear, perhaps it was ******

at the stars there should be a word, I know there is one but I have no idea which. confusement is not a word, but what can fit that description in such a line?

Yeah, that would be confusion...well, since English is not my native language I used an online translator and a dictionary afterwards...I guess it helped:

Bafflement, Bemusement ("confusion resulting from failure to understand")

Both fit your criteria. Any language experts that would further confirm or deny this possibility?

Puzzlement maybe? It still sounds a bit awkward but its more commonly used than bafflement or befuddlement or be.. etc etc

So I finally decided to kick my Norton habit the other day and switched to Kaspersky. When I was installing Kaspersky, it prompted me to uninstall Spybot, citing Spybot as an incompatible program.

Why is my Kaspy discontent with Spybot?

Because kaspersky is very egoistic sometimes no, seriously! while he has his own antispyware module, i think there's no need in other apps...

You could try installing Spybot after installing Kaspersky if you want to. Softwares like McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky, etc usually prompt people to uninstall incompatible softwares or softwares having same functions during installation.

Its possible that mosquitoes are biting you but that you are immune from their effects. The reason mosquito bites itch is because most humans are allergic to the mosquito's saliva, a small percentage of the population is not allergic or not as allergic to their saliva and therefore do not have the swelling and itching associated with the bite.

Mosquitoes are drawn by CO2... it may be that you emit a bit less... or that you emit something else that makes them think "blech".

I seem to recall reading that eating garlic drives them off a bit... but you have to eat a LOT of garlic (which might drive everyone else off as well).

And that's why dry ice is perfect for outdoor parties. Just a block in the corner of the yard and all the mosquitoes will end up around the block. Your party will be mosquito-free.

If you're in a situation when you have doubt, just do exactly what you normally won't... then the situation should be inverted..... (it's not a joke btw, cause it works for me)

Unless if you have already have 75% of class as friends and still want more....

This. And try to be more outgoing (no duh, but I had to say it).
Of course, if your fellow students have nothing in common with you, then it's probably not going to be easy to make them a friend. Try and focus on the similarities.

.....start with mention loudly few meme such as "if so it will be nice boat....." or "it's more repetitive than Endless Eight"..... then hope some guys will come approach you after class. However.... i haven't tried this before (always want to through) so no guarantee if it works

Maybe ask random guys out for sport matchs (basketball, soccer...) would be more ordinary method

I'm not sure if many would even understand the E8 ref. Though IMO, the nice boat is rather annoying. Anyways, you always have the weather in common.

Maybe you can tell fellow classmates or who you want to make friends with "I have free beer cookies!" I think, it'll work!
