Thanks to Daily Candy, we’ve learned about another plastic bangle cousin of LIVESTRONG and Save Darfur. A teal blue one that supports “Mosquito Control Awareness.” DCist says it’s about time those blood suckers were controlled — especially the little bastards that come home to the Washington region in these humid months. And what better time than Mosquito Control Awareness Week?

Back in June, we forecasted that they would come in herds, like tourists from the Midwest — except the mosquitoes seem to itch more. The next time we shake our fists at the feisty devils, let it be with a blue silicone bracelet around our wrists. We call this bucks well-spent, plus shipping is free! And whether or not the Washington swamp legend is true, it’s as if AMCA (just the American Mosquito Control Association) wrote this cute little book, “The Summer The Town Bit Back” about us.

(True, the bracelets don’t immediately cure the bites per se, but let’s think about the longterm benefits.)

Broadcast to all local mosquitoes, or apparently just femme mosquitoes : Listen up. No more planting your proboscis into our fat thighs, and thinking you can run away with our sweet blood in your abdomens. We’re tired of people thinking our body acne is still an issue.
