Know all mosquito bites, how to stop the mosquito bites from itching and how to prevent mosquito bites. It is typically female mosquitoes that bite a human, male mosquitoes generally feed on plant juices and nectar while females feed on human blood. This is because female mosquitoes get from human blood nutrients that are essential for them to produce eggs.
The mouth parts of mosquitoes are especially designed to pierce the surface of animals and plants. They have special sensory receptors that help them become aware of source of blood. They have special heat, chemical and visual sensors on their body. The chemical sensors let them be aware of presence of carbon dioxide.
When animals give out carbon dioxide while breathing out, mosquitoes can detect the source of carbon dioxide and bite them.
WHY DO MOSQUITOES BITE
When a mosquitoes bites a human it actually pierce the body surface and infects small quantity of its own saliva into the body, the saliva helps to dilute the blood and let it pass easily through the narrow snout of mosquito, but even after the mosquito has finished feeding a small trace of saliva remains in the wound, the presence of this foreign substance instantly prompts reaction from the immune system which result in itching. A bump arises over the skin as the immune system work to breakdown protein component in the saliva. The itchiness and elevation last until the body has broken down all the proteins.
MALARIA DISEASE
This infective disease arises as a long time effect of a mosquito bite. It is caused by the transmission of sporozoan parasites into the body of the victim through the sting of an infected Anopheles mosquito. The disorder causes chills and fever and may even give rise to death if left untreated or not treated properly.
