Are you a mosquito magnet? Do you always wonder why you always get bit by mosquitoes? Here’s why 5 reasons why you are a mosquito magnet:

Mosquitoes technically don’t bite; they suck. When mosquitoes find their dinner, the female mosquito uses her needle-like mouth part, called a proboscis, to penetrate the skin. When she penetrates the skin, she feeds on the blood, and her saliva is released. Her saliva acts as an anticoagulant which allows her to feed on our blood without us noticing.

Once we get bit, our bodies have a natural response to the anticoagulant and our body creates histamines to send them to the bitten area. When our bodies release the histamines, it causes the bite to itch. It’s actually our bodies that create the itching feeling and not the actual bite.

The more you itch the area, the more histamines your body sends to the affected area. If you are curious on how to stop mosquito bites from itching, check out our home remedies for mosquito bites below!
