What is Mosquito Bits?

Despite the term, mosquitoes don’t actually bite. They pierce the skin to get at the blood just beneath it. That red, itchy bump that appears is the body’s allergic reaction, and not the result of a tiny wound.

The way it works is that a mosquito uses heat sensors on its antennae and around its mouthparts to locate capillaries near the skin’s surface. The mosquito has a proboscis – a long, pointed mouthpart – and inserts that to tap the capillary.

There are two tubes in the proboscis. The mosquito uses one to inject saliva, while the other draws in blood. The saliva contains enzymes that serve two purposes: act as a mild painkiller, so the prey doesn’t notice, and thin the blood so that it does not clot and keeps flowing.

Each person’s allergic reaction to a mosquito bite varies. Some people actually become relatively immune to them with repeated exposure, while others become even more sensitive. Children are especially vulnerable to allergic reactions to mosquito bites.

If you want to create a mosquito-free environment for your children, mosquito repellents such as mosquito natural repellant or mosquito repellant clothing are obviously not enough, but to achieve real mosquito control. Mosquito bait and kill is the best way to get rid of mosquitoes, QM MBOX indoor insect killer not only has strong mosquito control function, but also it is almost no noise at runtime. It works much better than baby mosquito repellant.
