When summer temperatures swell in Alabama, you can expect swarms of mosquitoes to populate towns and cities. These unwanted tenants are most active in the early mornings and early evenings, according to Alabama Public Health. They also bite: Mosquitoes suck blood from your skin, leaving behind a nasty surface bump.
Why Do Mosquitoes Bite? Why Do Mosquito Bites Itch?
Female mosquitoes rely on human blood to develop their eggs. This is because human blood is full of proteins and other nutrients.
Mosquito bites can make your skin red and itchy. They produce an inflammatory response in your immune system, which causes an itchy lump on the surface of your skin.
Mosquito Treatment for Bites
You can prevent mosquito bites by wearing long-sleeved clothing or spraying clothing with a mosquito repellant. Alternatively, spray a safe mosquito repellant on your skin, avoiding the eye area.
If you already have a mosquito bite, hold an ice cube over the infected area to bring down inflammation or apply home remedies like lemon juice and aloe vera to alleviate some of the symptoms — reddish bumps, small blisters, itchy skin, etc.
