Mosquito Bites

Yes we all know now that it’s just the females that are so bothersome. They lock onto their victim using scent, exhaled carbon dioxide, body heat, and chemicals in the person’s sweat. Then she lands on an area of exposed skin and inserts her proboscis to suck your blood. Yes they are mosquitos’ not female vampires. Then are body’s immune system reacts to proteins in the mosquito’s saliva. And here is the kicker, they prefer men that are overweight and type O blood. Relief for the reaction to their stingers can be found in hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion and a cold ice pack. Mosquitos can carry viruses, bacteria, and parasites in their saliva such as malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, yellow fever, and several viruses that cause encephalitis.  When they sting you, they can spread those pathogens into your body, causing severe and even life-threatening illness.
