Why do leech bites itch?
Think about a leach as a mosquito. As you know, both leaches and mosquitoes suck blood but what you probably didn't know was that a mosquito injects a disease into your leg when it bites. Now, usually right when you feel it bite you shoo it away. If you would leave it alone it would then suck out the disease that makes you itch. Leaches are the exact same way however their process is much much, much slower!

Does salt water affect mosquito bites?
Sea water helps any sores and cuts because it cleans out all the germs in it. So I think it would. But if it doesn't you can by cream at a chemest and it helps it not itch. [edit] I don't know if salt WATER helps, but I know that salt affects them. It works by drying out the bites, which ends up healing them and reducing the urge to itch them. You are suppose to first dab the bite area with water, and then put salt on it. That to me, seems like the same thing as salt water. I would say that salt water would very much affect mosquito bites.
Why do mosquite bites itch?
Mosquitoes are a living flying syringes. Not all bite except the female version. Firstly it is good to understand why mosquito bites. This will help us in knowing why the bites itch and what it does when the biting takes place. The female mosquito, when bites pierces the skin with needle like mouth known as the proboscis. So once it has bitten you and the proboscis breaks through you skin and is in effect, it will look for blood vessels and this where it punctures. All this happens very fast than we could even think. When the above process takes place, there happens slight itching. The entering of its fluids to the body causes it to itch. After the biting is over, there releases Histamines as an immune response which causes swelling in the region where it bit. This is also a cause as to why we feel the itch reaction. There is also an allergic response after the release of histamines which is all natural and is a way how our body protects itself.

Why do we itch?
An itch is a very slight form of pain from your nerves. There is usually something touching you and your body feels threatened by the contact, and so you itch to remove it from your skin. In bites and stings it's because the nerves are stimulated by the poison/acid/alkali released into the bite. Sometimes you may feel a 'Phantom' or travelling itch, when you can't quite tell where you need to itch. This is caused by random stimulation of the nerve, the cause of which is unknown
