minus-squareOnno (VK6FLAB)@lemmy.radiolinkfedilinkarrow-up26arrow-down2·1 month agoSorry to be the bearer of bad news. Mosquito bites itch after they bite, not while they bite. The itch is your body responding to the saliva it injected.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·1 month agoIt’s not news to me. I still am motivated to kill them before or after they bite because they are a known irritant. If they just took a tiny bit of my blood without the irritation I wouldn’t be so motivated to kill them
