What's inside a Mosquito bite, and why does it swell up?

Mosquito bite doesn't lead to AIDS. I have a problem with this?

  • Okay lets think of it in a way of a story that i am making and please answer whats wrong in it!! In a room lot of guys are sleeping lets says its a boys hostel. One of them has AIDS and he is sleeping near the window. The window is open , and a little mosquito enters the room . The female mosquito is hungry she is almost starving and need lots of blood. Now this guy with AIDS is the first one she bites , she inserts her saliva into him which contain anti cogulant so that his blood may not clot and so that she could suck it easily. Now when she is sucking the guy feels irritated and turns on other side the mosquito out of fear flies away , her stomach only half filled she need more blood. Now she sits on another guy now again she bites him . now here where i feel i have a problem. When we eat food some of it always remain in our mouth , it sticks there . Thats truth , unless you wash it away. Okay after eating or even drinking a cola try to generate saliva , it will be coloured which clearly show it has the particles in it which we ate. Now same is the case with mosquito it generates saliva which has anti cogulant and also blood of the AIDS boy now she puts it into another boy , now this boy should get AIDS but my book says mosquito don't spread Aids . Is it right? And one more thing this blood isn't digested because it never reached stomach of mosquito so this means virus isn't in digested form so it can cause the disease . Thanks a lot for answering

  • Answer:

    No because when a bug sucks your blood they dont transfer any of the previous blood into your system. If bugs were able to get someone elses blood in your body then people would be dying all the time because of the many different blood types people have. Example: A person with a negative blood type would die if a positive blood type was put in their body.

You have a interesting question, I didn't know the answer, so I goggled it and found this... hope it helps. "Many people think of mosquitoes as tiny, flying hypodermic syringes, and if hypodermic needles can successfully transmit HIV from one individual to another then mosquitoes ought to be able to do the same. We have already seen that HIV-infected individuals do not circulate enough virus particles to result in infection by contamination. However, even if HIV-positive individuals did circulate high levels of virus, mosquitoes could not transmit the virus by the methods that are employed in used syringes. Most people have heard that mosquitoes regurgitate saliva before they feed, but are unaware that the food canal and salivary canal are separate passageways in the mosquito. The mosquito's feeding apparatus is an extremely complicated structure that is totally unlike the crude single-bore syringe. Unlike a syringe, the mosquito delivers salivary fluid through one passage and draws blood up another. As a result, the food canal is not flushed out like a used needle, and blood flow is always unidirectional. The mechanics involved in mosquito feeding are totally unlike the mechanisms employed by the drug user's needles. In short, mosquitoes are not flying hypodermic needles and a mosquito that disgorges saliva into your body is not flushing out the remnants of its last blood meal."

The book is correct
