Blood Bites

I read an article about mosquitos and
why we are not all equal in their feasting.
Just as, in donating blood,
some blood types can be used by some people,
but blood type o+ can be used by everyone.
Mosquitoes love o+.
I have donated blood for many many years.
I do so because I know my blood is clean,
I’m healthy and, the knowledge that someone,
somewhere will need it. This keeps me going.
(I just can’t watch as they take it from me.)
But...
Just stepping into my tiny back yard means I
am going to be eaten alive! Grumble
