I've read this not so long ago regarding mosquitoes and how they carry the Ross river virus, if you get bitten and get the virus it can stay with you for months aching joints, itching, etc. I've heard its around the Bunbury area, we were thinking of moving there please could anyone living in or around the area advise on this please or give their experience.

Thought I was getting away from West Nile Virus... damn mossies are everywhere. From looking on the internet Ross River Virus is very similar to what we have in Canada, West Nile Virus. It is a boody nusience each year, as there are tons of mossies in the summertime and so there is always a chance that one bite could be the one that gives it to you. I wouldn't worry too much about it, we don't worry too much about West Nile here. No matter how much bug spray you put, you always get one or two bites, I have lived in Canada for 27 years and have not contracted West Nile disease, even though I have about 10 bites already this season and it has just begun (Damn mossies.... hate the little buggers)

P.s Do you have mosquitos in England ????. I can't remember it was so long ago I lived there.

Hi Glynn, I was just reading a site today and they were talking about Bunbury. The Australian said that Bunbury was built on reclaimed swamp land and thats why there are lots of mozzies.

That's too funny ROFL...... I don't think you can get away from that type of insect no matter which country you are in.
You too will learn to hate the dreaded mossie once you move to Oz. They truly are buggers. Always on the look out for fresh blood !!!!!!
Actually the mosquito bites are not as bad as other bites. We have blackflies in Canada and they only around for a month or two... very small but boy do they give a nasty bite. Same with deer flies and horse flies.
Well I will put up with more mossies if it means no more winters.

Hi All
If you dont want to get bit its easy!!
Sit next the person they love, then they leave you alone!!!
If your the poor sap they love ha ha. sorry not very nice (but true)
I gave blood a few times in Oz and was told i had alot of iron in my blood, and was also told that mozzies didn't like it. No idea if its true but i dont get very many bites (touch wood). It's either that or I have a very thick skin. LOL
