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. To reduce the mosquito population in your yard, look for any standing water that mosquitoes could use to breed. This might include watering cans, the dog's water dish, a wading pool, a bird bath, a tire, a tin can, wheel barrows, saucers under potted plants or anywhere that can collect water. It doesn't take a lot of water to grow a lot of mosquitoes.
