Full strength ammonia would be very irritant to your skin and could cause inflammation or ulcers!.
Mosquito bites are slightly acidic - dilute ammonia is slightly alkaline so the two neutralise each other!. If you use strong alkali on your skin it would do the same as strong acid !.!.!.!. not nice !!Www@Answer-Health@Com
