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.
