Most of the time it works. And some people are immune, my older brother can stand naked and not get a single bite.
One question to Jow Forums, do you have moose flies/Älgstyng? Not sure what the English name is. They literally spray eggs into your eyes (their normal target is deer and moose noses). Those eggs turn into larvae, can cause blindness in humans. And insane pain. They look almost like bumblebees but they stay around your face and then you feel a squirt. Damage is done. Seek a doctor.
>pic related, Malin Hallgren in 2009 was out walking in the woods and one sprayed her eye. Just 12 hours later she had 25-30 larvae in her eye and had to seek hospital help. They managed to save her eye thanks to quick response times.
Wew. Sounds worse than the stereotypes of Australia

Are there any government programs in place to destroy the Mosquitoes like in some third world countries? Or do you guys just let them fly around unchecked?

They tried using chemicals in the 80's and 90's but nothing helped. And Mosquitoes in Sweden do not carry any diseases so the government don't care.

With warmers winters and brown immigrants they soon will.
