Dangerous Mosquito Bites
The female mosquito is responsible for human bites. This is because the female mosquito requires proteins to produce eggs.
Once the mosquito has found the host to obtain a meal, she will feed on the blood. Thus, it won't stop until her stomach is filled or is discovered and brushed away.

Normally, this is an autoimmune response from the human body to the mosquito’s saliva. Other symptoms include redness in the area of the bite. Moreover, the bite may take a few days to heal and stop itching. Bed bugs are also blood-sucking insects like mosquitoes which most people mistake for small cockroaches and ticks. These insects can live anywhere in the house but they are common in beds and mattresses. Bed bug bite may be tricky to determine because there is a delay with its effect, at times. So, there can be quite a long gap between the time they bite their host and the time symptoms show up. The more times they bite the person, the less delay there is between the biting and the showing of symptoms. Hence, you may confuse it with flea or mosquito bite, a rash, or a skin condition. Bed bugs feed on blood from people mainly at night when the individual is asleep. Like mosquitoes, they chase warm body temperatures and exhaled carbon dioxide. Their bites may occur anywhere on the body but are common on face, neck, hands, shoulders, and arms. Similar to the mosquito, during the bite, the bed bug injects an anticoagulant in the saliva which causes an allergic reaction. The bed bug bite causes reddening, more itching (than from a mosquito) and swelling of the skin. So, you will have wheals that decrease progressively over a few days to a red spot. Moreover, blisters may form and may cause loss of skin tissue. The main difference between the mosquito and bed bug bites is the pattern of the bites. Thus, bed bug bites occur in a linear pattern of 3 – 4 bites. Sometimes, this is referred to as “breakfast, lunch, and dinner”. The bed bug bites occur as a single bite and are very common to occur in a straight line pattern. However, the actual bite of a bed bug is not painful. Bed bugs may remain on the human and feed for up to 10 minutes. In addition, the bed bug bite is known to last longer than a mosquito bite. Mosquito bites and bed bug bites can cause serious reactions. Thus, you have to be cautious in case you get their bites. The following tips will surely help. Firstly, Mosquito and bed bug bites can be itchy and distressing. However, you should avoid scratching. It is because scratching can worsen the bitten area.
