Mosquito bites cause itchy, red welts due to saliva injected by female mosquitoes, which contains proteins that numb the pain and thin the blood. This triggers the immune response, leading to inflammation and intense itching. The body's response to bites can vary widely among individuals, influenced by skin chemistry, body odor, and previous exposure. Over time, repeated bites might lead to desensitization, but being bitten by different mosquito species can re-trigger a strong immune response.
The female mosquito injects saliva with anaesthetic and anticoagulant proteins into our skin, leading to an immune response that causes inflammation and itching.
People react differently to mosquito bites due to variations in skin chemistry and body odour, as well as their history of exposure to bites.
