Only female mosquitoes bite us, and when she does she pierces our skin with her mouth and sucks up our blood until she's full. She can swallow up to four times her weight in blood! In the same time she also injects a small amount of saliva. This saliva works as an anesthetic; it numbs the skin a bit. The saliva also contains an anti clotting component which obviously keeps our blood from clotting
Our body's defense system reacts to the proteins in her saliva which result in the familiar itching and bumps
