Tiny Mosquito: Understanding the Mosquito

Description

At some point in time, everyone has experienced the itchy discomfort of a mosquito bite. It is common for many people to experience significant allergic reactions to mosquito bites whereby the bump grows to an alarming size and burns or itches excessively.

Well, the female mosquito is to blame as the male mosquito does not bite. As she lands on your skin and sticks her proboscis (mouth part) into you, some of her saliva enters your skin. It contains proteins that prevent your blood from clotting thereby allowing her to suck blood with ease until her abdomen is full.

After she has bitten you, some saliva remains in the wound. Proteins from her saliva evoke an immune response from your body causing the injured area to swell. Hence, it is the mosquito’s saliva that causes the itch. The swelling goes away in about two days but the itch stays until your immune cells break down the saliva protein.
