Home Remedy for Mosquito Bites

Mosquitoes are insects that feed on different kinds of food to survive. Male mosquitoes feed primarily on flower nectars. Whereas only female mosquitoes “bite” the host to feed on blood so they can be able to produce offspring. When the female mosquito “bites”, it bores a very small hole on the skin and injects its saliva, which contains protein that prevents blood clotting for continuous drawing of blood until they are satisfied.
