When I was younger, somebody told me that you had to be really careful if you're around mosquitos, because if you weren't paying attention then they would ball up and squeeze into your ear and never come out. If there were any mosquitos around, I would hold my hands over my ears. Even today they make me sort of uncomfortable...
