Can mosquito bites cause rheumatoid arthritis?

Answer 1

No Mosquito's do not cause rheumatoid arthritis, However there are a number of diseases such as malaria, Ross River Fever, Denue fever, and Barmah Forest virus that are introduced by Mosquito's

Answer 2

No, it is rumored to but has been scientifically proven to not to.

I have Arthritis and I believe it has recently been exacerbated by four Brown Recluse bites in the past two months. My knee is now considerably swollen and stiff.

Answer 3

The general consensus is that spider bites do not trigger RA. I have long since been a victim of RA and was bitten around the neck several times by a red back spider several times without having my RA triggered. Having said that however I have noted that even a small splinter or infection can start a flareup going. So looking at it that way it is possible that some sort of immune reaction has started taking place.

Answer 4

Yes, absolutely. The Brown Recluse and Black Widow (USA) and the Redback (AUS).
