i think what u said about the enzyme reaction is wrong.
if my memory serves me right, its a allergic reaction it is a foreign compound injected by the mosquito that your body dont recognise so the body reacts to it. swelling is because histamine is released(a natural defence mechanism) as for the itch, i cant really remember.
btw, some ppl are allergic to mosquito bites, and these ppl could die from it(like nut allergic reactions
) but this is really rare.
unless u are bitten like 1000 times a day then im not sure
Isn't what Darklight79 said the same thing as what you mentioned? Isn't enzyme released from the mosquito considered a foreign compound?if my memory serves me right, its a allergic reaction it is a foreign compound injected by the mosquito that your body dont recognise so the body reacts to it. swelling is because histamine is released(a natural defence mechanism) as for the itch, i cant really remember.
