When I go out during summers I'll get bit like 3-4 times the entire night while the rest of the group of friends/family get bitten a all night.

[–]KoffeinFlummi 34 points35 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

once they stung you, stretch out your skin around them. they wont't be able to 'pull out' because of litte barbs on the sting and since the sucking is done by adhesive force they won't be able to stop sucking and burst.

If a mosquito bites you and hits a vein, you can pinch around the bite while they're sucking blood and they can't detach. They'll keep on sucking blood until they pop. Colloquial Finnish wisdom.

Can you be more specific? how close to the vein they are on do you need to pinch? right on top of them or, just on that vein relativity close?

[–]peterp4nda[S] 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Mosquito's don't actually suck your blood, you fill them up with the pressure of your blood getting pumped around your body. So by pinching, you're basically holding them in place like a water balloon until they pop.

[–]BelievesInGod 11 points12 points ago

yes i figured that part out, but how close to them do i need to pinch on the vein?

It's probably the actual skin clenching up that locks the mosquito in place.

[–]Soytaco 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's because of the barbs on the mosquito's sucker.. When you pinch the skin AROUND the sucker, the barbs are what lock it in place. Then the pressure of blood naturally circulating through your body just fill it up until it pops.

By pinching your skin you trap the Mosquito. Mosquitoes are actually attracted to the Co2 in our breath. They can detect it from great distances. Thank you for subscribing to Mosquito Facts.

[–]Torch_Salesman 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here's an easier, less headache-y approach for you: instead of pinching, spread the skin apart on either side. That way it doesn't matter where your fingers are placed, because as long as the skin directly under the mosquito is spread, everything works okay, and the mosquito is still trapped.

You can also just flex your muscles if you're getting bit in the calf or upper/lower arm. This tightens everything up and the mosquito can't pull his stinger out of your taut skin.

Ha, I'm enrolled in a malaria study and I get bitten by 20 mosquitoes as a part of it. Four times, three weeks apart. The first time I was all freaked out by it, but I just got my second set of bites two days ago and I just don't give a shit. This is functioning as a sort of exposure therapy now - I don't hate mosquitoes nearly as much as I used to anymore. :P I never would've been able to watch that gif all the way through in the past..

I'm 80% sure that it's the Mosquitos saliva that makes us itch.. I'm 20% too lazy to look it up.

[–]Krazer 30 points31 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Close. The saliva contains enzymes that dull the pain of the "bite" and prevent the blood from clotting (so bugs can keep sucking). The immune system will realize something is going on, and histamine is produced to combat the foreign substance. When the histamine reaches the area of the bite, it will cause the blood vessels, triggering inflammation, causing swelling causing a red bump (a.k.a. a wheal). Histamine dilates and increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and some proteins, allowing them to engage pathogens or other foreign agents in the bite area.

Now why does it itch you ask? Since the blood vessels expand, nerve endings in the area become irritated by the swelling. The itchy feeling you get is from the irritation.

♒♒The More You Know™♒♒★

tl;dr the saliva causes your body to trigger an allergic reaction.

[–]gistak 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As often, the cure is worse than the disease. Our immune system is often the main thing killing us or otherwise causing us annoyance.

Not that I mind, in this case. The fact that humans hate itchy bites keeps us swatting away mosquitoes, which has probably kept a lot of people from getting sick.

Why haven't we evolved to not itch, or better yet, be immune to their non-blood-clotting enzymes?

Scumbag evolution.

[–]Krazer 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sounds like a job for /r/askscience

It's not my area of expertise, but I'm guessing (outdated?) evolutionary features. Maybe your body wants you to itch to remove a thin layer of skin (however, ppl tend to over do it sometimes, which is bad D:). With an itch, unlike pain, we are drawn to it (scratch) rather than recoiling from it (ow). This way you can tell the difference between things you want to get off you (because they shouldn't be there) from things that you want to get away from (because they will cause harm to you).

You can't itch and feel pain at the same time. Scratching an itch is believed to stimulate the pleasure zones of your brain, and is psychosomatic (think about/see ppl itching and you might itch, kinda like yawning). There are many reason as to why we itch, but I'll leave that for anoter time...

As for those enzymes, I think it's less about us adapting the them (those blood suckers), but them adapting to us.

So it's more like: It's those bloodsuckers that are the scumbags -- waits for other species to do the hard work, sucks out their nutritious proteins and lipids (in blood).

The reason you shouldn't scratch that itch: The more you scratch the more histamine is released. It also helps to wash the bite area with warm soapy water.

[–]deadpoetic333 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So would applying an anti-histamine cream to the bite mark relieve itching? I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good idea since you mentioned it swells up to engage the pathogens, but it seems like it would be a quick remedy.

If anyone cares.....Its because the mosquitos put their saliva in us to this our blood because its too thick for them. So the chemical reaction causes irritation.

[–]Mzsickness 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's kind of close. The thing that causes it to itch if I remember from Anatomy/Biology courses is that they inject anti-coagulant while sucking blood. This is so the blood doesn't clot and they have an easier time drinking us. If it didn't itch I would allow mosquitoes suck my blood all day. I'd be the mosquito whisperer!

[–]Illsavetheinternets 2 points3 points ago

Does anybody burn their bug bites with hot water as well? For people who don't know what I'm talking about, I turn on the sink to warm water and let the water run over my bug bite. I proceed to slowly increase the water temperature until it starts to get hot and then ensues the most orgasmic feeling in the world. Imagine the relief of itching a bug bite, multiply it by a thousand, followed by no more itching afterwords.

Actually, this makes me kinda want to ask r/askscience why we don't get AIDS from getting bitten by a mosquito that just bit someone with AIDS...

[–]eleno 5 points6 points ago

Excuse my ignorance then, but how do we get west nile from mosquitos?

HIV is an incredibly fragile virus, and also does not infect the mosquito. This makes it VERY VERY VERY unlikely you will get HIV from a mosquito.

West Nile actually infects the mosquito and gets into their salivary glands, which then makes the mosquito a carrier and capable of spreading West Nile to humans when they bite.

Furthermore if I remember correctly, the thing that makes it itchy is also in the saliva, and related to an enzyme that thins blood.

Edit: False.

Visible, irritating bites are due to an immune response from the binding of IgG and IgE antibodies to antigens in the mosquito's saliva.

Amazing, and annoying.

Every time I get sick, whole clusters of lymph nodes swell up like small grapes. Dr says I just have an aggressive immune system. Fucking annoying if you ask me.

[–]mancible 1 point2 points ago

False. Mosquitoes produce an anticoagulant in their saliva (helps them take blood more easily) which sets off human immune system. It's our own immune system that produces inflammation and irritation.

[–]TheLeprechaun04 0 points1 point ago

It is actually because they use a numbing stuff so you don't feel them and the itchiness is an allergic reaction to it. That is why some people get huge bump and some don't get any. Just different level of allergy.

[–]dalore 0 points1 point ago

Science fact: The bite of the only mosquito that carries malaria (the anopheles) does not itch since it carries some sort of agent that stops it. So in a malaria country it's the mosquitos you can't feel are the ones to be worried about.

It's really due to mosquito saliva. Your body recognizes the saliva as foreign and your body responds by releasing inflammatory mediators (e.g. histamine) which causes inflammation (that giant swell) and erythema (redness)
