Now while I do have medical experience and am pursuing a Doctorate, this is purely speculation but the premise is this:
Obviously, there are drawback, the most pressing being insect-borne diseases. However, only certain mosquitoes can carry diseases, and of them only females are capable of biting. A way to 'prevent' transmission is to effectively breed mosquitoes ensuring that the second generation are disease-free.
Lesser concerns are itchiness and a more severe reaction to bites. For my studies I've found that topical benzocaine (a potent pain reliever found in oral analgesics such as Orajel and Benzodent) can totally remove these sensations. Be warned in that over-application can cause reduced sensation, delayed ejaculation, and temporary impotence. I'd advise applying one or two drop to a Q-tip as opposed to directly applying it to the affected area.
- Inflammation causes swelling.
- If acute inflammation becomes chronic, swelling will persist even become permanent.
- Allergic reactions cause inflammation.
- Most allergic reactions are unpredictable.
- Mosquito bites release an anticoagulant that triggers a mild allergic reaction.
- Swelling lasts between three to five days.
