Skin becomes red and swollen after being bitten by a mosquito

Mosquitoes are very annoying little insects. The text often appears in the summer, using its long, pointed beak to pierce people's skin and suck blood. There are bacteria on the mosquito's mouth, and during the process of sucking blood, the bacteria will enter the human body through the wound caused by the mosquito bite. Sometimes after being bitten by a more poisonous mosquito, the bitten area will become red and swollen. Let’s learn about what to do if your skin becomes red and swollen after being bitten by a mosquito?

How to deal with mosquito bites

1. At home, you can apply strong soapy water to quickly relieve itching, or dip soap in water and apply it to the red and swollen areas.

2. If the bite is very itchy, flick it with your fingers first, and then apply floral water, wind oil, etc.

3. Apply or soak the itchy area with salt water, which can soften the swelling and effectively relieve itching.

Precautions

What mosquitoes want to eat is not blood, but sugary substances. The reason why mosquitoes (female mosquitoes to be precise) bite people is just to increase their own reproductive ability. Because human blood contains substances that make mosquito eggs mature. If your blood is rich in cholesterol or vitamin B, female mosquitoes will like you more. The "chemical receptors" on its tentacles are the tools it uses to find you.

You're lucky if your dorm has someone who secretes and breathes vigorously. Because mosquitoes can easily find them through carbon dioxide and lactic acid secreted by the human body. If you don't want mosquitoes to bite you when you go to bed at night, you might as well persuade your roommates to use more perfume, soap or floral-scented daily necessities, so that they can attract mosquitoes over.
