Humboldt, who was a firm believer in
the poisonous nature of the mosquito
bite, considered the sucking out Of the
poison to be the explanation of the pain
lessness of some wounds. He affirmed
that If the insect were allowed to suck
to safety no swelling took place, and
no pain was left behind, and considered
that when pain was produced 1t resulted
from the hasty interruption of the proc
ess of sucking, since then the last in
fused poison would not be able to be
Withdrawn, He experimental with one
Of the most virulent species, allowing 1t
gently to settle on the back of his hand.
and reports of it:
81 observed that the pain, though vio-
lent in the beginning, diminishes In pro-
portion as the insect continues to suck,
and ceases altogether when it volunta-
rily flies away."-Knowledge.
