Question: Why does a mosquito bite itch and swell up so much!?
Answers:
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!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when the mosquitoes bite they inject a type of anistetic (dont know how 2 spell it) which thins the blood and stops us being able 2 feel the bite so they can drink even more, but humans r allergic to it so the reaction is swelling and itching!. some people are more allergic to it than othersWww@Answer-Health@Com
