I just spent six months in Penang, including a night sharing a hospital ward with a woman recovering from dengue. Mosquitos love me, I got lots of bites, but never got sick. Apparently that doesn't mean I didn't have dengue, because a lot of people get very mild cases that they barely notice.
hi synthia,

Actually mosquitoes bite throughout the day, just that the hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many species of mosquitoes.

Haha, maybe the mosquitoes that bite you does not carry the dengue virus, lucky u. No matter what i simply hate them when they buzz near your ear when u are about to fall asleep and wake u up.
