Why mosquito bites itch
There's nothing worse than a mosquito bite; the red, swollen bump signals misery is coming, and without fail, it soon begins to itch. But why does a bite from a mosquito cause this reaction? Let's take a closer look and find out!
Mosquitos feed on blood, so it's no surprise that their mouths are specially designed to penetrate the skin to make mealtimes easier. Using their proboscis, the long, needlelike part of their mouths, mosquitos enter the epidermis and begin sucking the blood. As they eat, they inject saliva onto the skin, which numbs the area, so you don't feel them enjoying their dinner. While this saliva creates a numbing sensation at first, it later reacts with your body, causing an itchy bump to form.
Why does a mosquito bite itch more when it's scratched?
You've been there; your mosquito bite itches like crazy, so you scratch it trying to find some relief, only to find it itches more. Why on earth does this happen? When you scratch the bite, it causes it to become inflamed, which in turn leads to increased irritation and more itching. A vicious cycle ensues where the more you scratch, the worse the itching becomes.
How long do mosquito bites itch?
You will generally begin seeing a small bump forming around twenty minutes after the initial mosquito bite, but you will most likely not begin feeling the itch quite yet. Around twenty-four to forty-eight, the itching will reach its peak, and it could take up to a week for complete mosquito bite itch relief without any intervention.
