That s it after being bitten by a mosquito, after being bitten by a mosquito

Almost everyone has the unpleasant feeling of being "bitten" by mosquitoes, in fact, it should be said that they are "stung" by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can't open their mouths, so they won't bite on the **, it actually uses 6 needle-like structures to pierce people**, these short needles are the center of the mosquito's edible mouthparts.

These short needles suck human blood in the same way that they draw blood; The mosquito also releases saliva containing anticoagulants to prevent blood from clotting, so that it can feast peacefully. When the mosquitoes are full of food and drink and float away, all they leave behind is an itchy lump.

However, the itchy sensation is not caused by a short needle pricking or chemicals in the saliva. We feel itchy because the body's immune system releases a protein called histamine to fight foreign substances, and this immune response triggers an allergic reaction at the bite site. Histamine causes swelling of the tissues around the bite as blood flows to the bite site to speed up tissue recovery, and the intensity of this allergic reaction varies from person to person.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, do not scratch indiscriminately, otherwise it is easy to cause bacterial infection. Experts recommend that the following methods be used to relieve itching:

1.After being bitten by mosquitoes, ordinary people will have symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and pain, which can be relieved by alkaline substances, such as ammonia to relieve itching, or soap dipped in water to apply to the redness and swelling, which can relieve itching within a few minutes.

3.Apply or brew the itchy area with salt water, which will soften the bump and can also effectively relieve itching.

4.The sap from the aloe vera leaf can be used to relieve itching. When it is red, swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito, you can cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it and break it, and rub it a few times on the red and swollen area to reduce swelling and relieve itching.

What should I do if I am bitten by a mosquito?

Mosquito bites are affected by three factors. First, the carbon dioxide exhaled from the respiratory tract is a targeted source of odor for mosquitoes, which they use to find people and bite them.

The second is heat. Fat people are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes, and dark clothes absorb heat and attract mosquitoes.

The third is excrement. Mosquitoes love to bite people with rough pores and sweaty people, and generally men are more attracted to mosquitoes than women, young people are more likely than old people, and healthy people are more attracted to mosquitoes than sick people. Children have a strong metabolism and are also favored by mosquitoes.

In addition, when women come to menstruation, their secretions change, which attracts mosquitoes. After exercising and sweating, it is also more attractive to mosquitoes, so it is best to take a shower as soon as possible after exercise, and the less sweat, the less mosquito bites.

There will be red spots on the bite, and some will also make **itch (you don't scratch with your hands, use anti-itch ointment, or toilet water).
