AFAIK, Chinese workers are far too expensive for rock-bottom clothes joints. Much of their stuff comes from Bangladesh.Everything everywhere from every possible brand is made in China

The Philips TV in my room is 15+ years old and still going strong. Also, it's one of the Philips products actually made in Holland, with some Toshiba internal parts.
Why does my apple taste more like asshole after brushing my teeth?
Of course, even if you step on it it doesn't always kill the buggers. They are very hard to squash.
I found one on my thigh about 3 years when I was visiting family in Maine. It must have just attached itself to me because it hadn't drunk any blood. I tried to crush it but I couldn't so I ended up flushing it down the bog.
(Bog? Bugger? Bloody hell, Shirahime, your speech is starting to affect mine!)
Is it something to do with the blood group, or the sugar content/some other attractive chemical (e.g. Insulin) of same do you think?
Here's some interesting stuff about what attracts/repels mosquitoes.
Also, they use to spray the neighborhood and parks here with mosquito repellent.
Cowboy's TopTip : ALCOHOL! Seriously, I used to be a mosquito magnet as a kid, but they seem to hate the taste of alcohol. (or even a hint of the taste as I don't drink anything during the week yet they leave me alone)

Noooooo no no no that's one of the worst things you could do trying to remove one of the liccle buggers. When you do that (they say you can do it wi' surgical spirit too) it does 'cause the tick to withdraw but it also causes it to regurgitate whatever shite it has in it into the wound it makes. The best thing to do is to twist it out which has more chance of removing the entire thing using a tick removal tool. Sometimes the head can be left in an that itself can cause infection, an' possible Lyme's Disease if it's a carrier.
Because toothpaste is full of artificial sweeteners and it's just like eating strong, sugar-laden mints. The relatively low levels of natural fructose can't compete and the fruit or juice tastes bitter by comparison. Same reason why if I am going out for the evening I brush my teeth before I do anything else so by the time I have showered, shaved, dressed and got to wherever I am going the toothpaste has worn off and doesn't ruin the taste of the beer.
And you know what asshole tastes like how, exactly?
Never mind - don't answer that.

Call yourself a scientist? Sheesh.
Fleas are similar. I've learned how to rip their heads off with my fingernails. If the flea is one that's been exposed to a pesticide, but survived, I can crush it between my thumbnails. They make a cracking sound when you crack the exoskeleton, just make sure you squish enough for it to definitely be dead. Spoiled for ew...Yeah I've stood on a few before. Kinda like trying to crush a marble, can be done though wi' some decent hard-soled boots though. XD
