Comment on The unpleasantness of mosquito bites is not something useful for mosquitoes, but it *is* useful for the ones who suffer it

Interesting, I never thought about this. It makes sense. Early peoples definitely took measures to reduce bites. Burning specific plants that repel them. Slathering their skin with mud, clay, or oils. Crafting mosquito resistant clothing and bedding. For thousands of years before germ theory.
