The mosquito on my hand took two and a half minutes to finish it's meal,it's swelling gut gradually turning bright red. When mosquito bites,you usually feel an allergic reaction to the saliva,which causes the swelling and itch.This explains why some people suffer more than others.. What is your experience?

i am horribly allergic to black fly bites and they tend to swell up very large on me. i find mosquito bites not as dangerous to me, but black flies (which come out earlier in the season and are pretty much done by now) really seem to like me.

I get huge bumps and itch terribly when they bite me. I swell up instantly. I have tons right now too from being out all weekend for the holiday. Bug spray dose not help at all.
