how long would it take...

...one mosquitto to drink its way through a human full of blood? Or, how many mozzies would it take to finish me off in an hour, slowly drinking me husk-dry as I tried to sleep? Follow up question, for bonus points, what the FUCK are mozzies doing alive this late in the year? Hold on, I know the answer to that one! They were driving me out of my tree last night as I tried to sleep. Poxy thing or things had me awake from around 03:30 to 04:30, at which point I got up from bed, doused myself in Rid and went back to bed, leaving as little exposed skin above the duvet as possible...my peerless ability to sweat and the flannelet sheets Sal has dragged out in preparation for the harsh, cold nights of a Sydney winter (ha!) conspired to make sure I did not drift back off to sleep. I reckon the mozzies would drive me in-fucking-sane and have my brain explode before they drained my blood. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
