Why do mosquito bites itch so bad?

Why do mosquito bites itch?

  • i went camping and got a lot of mosquito bites i thought why do they itch

  • Answer:

    When a mosquito bites, she leaves behind saliva. In fact, the saliva present in mosquito bites serves the mosquito well, since it works as an anti-coagulant. These means the mosquito can quickly draw blood without catching your attention. The saliva injected when a mosquito bites causes our bodies to produce a histamine response. We have a slight allergy response, and thus our skin around the bite area gets itchy. ps: only the females bite!
