Attacked by mosquitoes, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bitten

(Other definitions for bitten that I've seen before include "Attacked by, eg, an insect" , "Once this, twice shy they say" , "Wounded (by a snake)" , "Wounded (by a gnat, spider, etc)" , "Seized with the teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
