✔️Why does the skin swell when a mosquito bites?
➡️Mosquitoes bite humans to drink their blood. The nutrients contained in a human's blood help female mosquitoes to make the eggs they need to reproduce.
➡️Chemicals in mosquito saliva prevent blood from clotting and evoke a response that causes redness, swelling and itching.
➡️ When a mosquito bite breaks the skin, a person's body recognizes the mosquito's saliva as a foreign substance.
➡️The swelling around the bite is caused by histamine, which is produced by the immune system.
Hope this helps you.
