Aboiut to set off to the Alicante and Murcia area. We've heard that much of the flood damage has been repaired but now getting reports of a plaque of mosquitos. Is anyone down there and able to comment. I understand that some are normal but, because of the amount of rain and the subsequent warm weather, the problem has got worse.

This meant that, for the first half of the night one would be too drunk to feel the mosquitoes biting. In the second half of the night, as the effects of the drink were wearing off, the mosquitoes would be too drunk to bite.......

Don’t think there’s a transmission path for HIV via mosquitos or any insect. Wifey or partner won’t believe that one :evil:
