I’m not even going to lie, mosquitoes should be classified under domestic terrorism. The flying, biting bugs you can barely see wreak havoc on my life every single summer. I’m not sure if I’m allergic to them, but whenever I’m bit by them, that area of my skin swells up. It’s the most annoying feeling in the world.
