In a week or two you will not notice them any more. To be honest the mosquitoes are problem only in woods by lakes. There is no mosquitoes in towns. The Lapland (nothern Finland) is the worst part if you are afraid of these little stupid flying objects. A bottle of national Finnish liquer "Koskenkorva" will help you to survive. Price about $13 / half litre. On the other hand, what good or best in the world you get for free. You have to pay for Leica, so the mosquitoes make you to pay for the glorious Finnish nature.
