  1. Oh, dear, the choices are to be bitten either by mosquitos or by ants? I’d like a third choice, please!

      I don’t think she was bitten. Just covered in their scent (she never cries out in pain, just exhibits disgust and a desire to get them off her limbs). Interesting that she says they smell a bit like perfume or tobacco!

      • O.k., I got the impression that she got bitten the first time, but then maybe she wouldn’t have done it a second time. I have been bitten by ants, it hurts!

        Yes, first she said perfume and then tobacco, I thought that was a bit odd.
