Why does it itch after a mosquito bites??


Answer:
In order for the mosquito to drink the person's blood, it has to inject saliva into the vein. This reaction to the mosquito's saliva is what causes the itching.http://www.virtualpediatrichospital.org/...
The mosquito injects a solution into your skin to keep the blood from clotting while she feeds, and your skin reacts to it and makes the itch.
