I put an IV line in every spring and top myself off with some DEET. Any skeeter that slurps my blood explodes from internal pressure buildup within minutes. My fucking ex wife brought this up in court to "prove" I'm not suited to take care of my children. Absolutely insane claim but the judge ate it up.
