Jakarta, Spami-id.com... After having a mosquito bite, it will arouse an itch and we will definitely have a reflex to scratch that skin.
But you know what really causes a skin mosquito to itch?
Commencing from various sources, to know the answer to this next explanation.
The unique fact of the mosquito that may not yet be known is that it's actually just a female mosquito that bites human blood.
Mosquitoes don't need blood to eat, but human blood is used to breed and produce eggs.
In fact, mosquitoes don't bite. He used his mouth shaped like a needle to stab the skin of prey that was eventually used to suck blood.
Also, when a female mosquito gets into our skin to get blood, they inject saliva.
This saliva contains an anticoagulant used by female mosquitoes to take human blood quickly.
According to researchers from the University of Porto, the Heart Research Institute, and the Australian National University, Professor Richard Payne, like most blood-eating organisms, mosquitoes secrete proteins in their saliva.
"This protein was designed to prevent blood from the organism from freezing, better allow the mosquito to access his blood food," said Professor Payne quoted from the sybed.
Our immune system will then produce a variety of antibodies to bind the antigens that are in mosquito saliva, which will then trigger the release of histamine.
Hystamine is a nitrogen compound that triggers inflammatory response. Histamine helps white blood cells and other proteins to fight the "foreign object" that enters our body by making capillaries from cells easier to get through.
The histamine will then make the blood vessels that have been bitten by a swollen mosquito. This process will produce pink bumps and cause an itch.
Mosquitoes include aggressive species that can bite during the day and night. Mosquitoes can also be known to cause deadly diseases like blood fever, Ross River virus, chikunu, malaria and so on.
