The mosquitos in East Nashville are ruthless. You cannot go outside for 15 minutes without protective gear on. Think beekeeper.
I don't know what happens to those mosquitos as they cross the Cumberland River, but holy fuck, are they hungry. I went outside to play with my dog this morning, and she was interested in playing catch for maybe ten minutes. I came back inside to discover a giant mosquito bite right on my face. On my right cheek. And it itches like crazy. It looks like an enormous whitehead with a red ring around it.
I also got one on the top of my foot and on the back of my arm.
In related news, West Nile virus was discovered in more mosquitos near the Cumberland River.
UPDATE: There are three more bites on my ankles that I didn't know about at the time I wrote this post. They itch.
