Most people compare a scorpion sting to a bee sting as they both cause a burning pain. Some people also have some swelling. Unless symptoms of an allergic reaction appear, there is little to be concerned about. As with any wound, watch for infection. When a mosquito bites, it produces saliva that is irritating when injected into the wound.
Mosquito bites cause pain, redness, swelling, and itching.
Frequently a small blister or hive develops at the bite site. Allergy to mosquito bites is common. Some people seem to be much more attractive to mosquitoes than others. Sensitive people can get covered with bites while others may get only one or two bites. If mosquitoes find you to be particularly tasty, wear insect repellent before venturing into mosquito country.
