Firstly, only female mosquitoes bite us. They do it because they need our blood to develop their eggs. Male mosquitoes, on the other hand, gather nectar from flowers and decaying vegetation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When they bite, female mosquitoes inject their saliva which contains an anticoagulant. This enables them to suck up our blood without their proboscis getting clogged up. It prompts an immediate reaction by our immune system which is responsible for that disagreeable itching.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In a previous article we learnt how to protect ourselves from mosquitoes and how to avoid being bitten. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes and it\u2019s almost impossible to avoid being bitten completely. So what should we do after being bitten by a mosquito? How can we soothe our skin and ease the itching? Here are all our tips and advice!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First of all, DON\u2019T SCRATCH mosquito bites! The more you scratch, the more you\u2019ll want to scratch. That\u2019s not a tip – it\u2019s common sense! We know it’s tempting and hard to resist. But scratching will only make the itching and the pain worse. You\u2019ll create an even bigger wound which might become infected and could leave you with lesions or a scar on your skin.<\/li>\n
  2. Before trying to soothe the itching caused by a bite, disinfect the affected area. A little water and some authentic olive oil Marseille soap will do the trick. This stage is essential to avoid infection, particularly if you\u2019ve scratched your mosquito bite.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
