One bite is enough for me jump away from the hill, do St. Vitus' Dance, strip whatever's necessary, brush madly, inspect myself, and act like a total idiot, while I'm actually trying to survive. Once in a while two will get me, but not often.

They're a little more of a nuisance than a mosquito, unless you're trying to sleep and hear a scout mosquito buzzing, "Hey guys she's in here!" Then the mosquito wins number one pest award.
