Priorities

If you're invisible, can you get mosquito bites?


I think you could because you're still there...you just can't be seen but you can bump into things so the mosquitoes should be able to find you.


But I think they can only find you if they can smell you. Or is it that they sense your heat? Either way, I think both of those things are still present when you're invisible because the only thing that is changing is your visibility, not your actually matter and its properties.


Unless...hmm.

With everything else that's going on my life, why is THIS the problem that kept me up in the middle of the night?

Excellent "point!" Just a sidenote: Contemplating becoming invisible? Mine is not to wonder why... :~)

Well, what do you mean by invisible? If it's just to visible light, they might be able to see you in infrared. If it's to all light, how are you going to ever get an x-ray or a CT scan? And if the light is passing through your retinas, HOW CAN YOU SEE?

No, I can't imagine how anyone could ever lose sleep over this...

But the bigger question is this - If you're invisible, can you still apply Off spray?

You guys bring up SUCH good points. Thanks for giving me more fodder for tonight when I can't fall asleep.

Yes because if they can bite through jeans, they can bite through your invisibility cloak- which, I assume, is how you became invisible, unless you have some other viable way of becoming invisible that I'm not yet aware of.

I've got skills you've never seen.

I'd suspect that it's not an invisibility cloak, but an insmellability cloak. After all, when one puts that stuff on, he/she tends to smell like an evergreen tree.
