Pesky mosquitoes, black flies, fleas, leeches, and even vampire bats all need blood, usually that of humans, to live. Learn which methods actually work in preventing bites, how these insects and animals reproduce and what involvement our human blood has in their reproduction. Although they're usually an irritating nuisance, some of these bloodsuckers have medicinal qualities that might be worth the scratching.
