Do you think it would work if I stuck a syringe in my mosquito bite and sucked out the venom? Would it be safe?
Also, if you bitten by 200 mosquitos would you be sick from all the insect fluid in your body?

it would not work if you stuck a syringe into the sore and attempted to suck out any sort of venom, the tiny amount that they inject, is actually a numbing agent so that you dont feel the prick and the little happy squirming as their hypodermic like mouth searchs arround under the skin for a good blood flow, what causes the nasty scratchy little lumps, is that the numbing agent, is also mosquito drool, and has slightly acidic/digestive properties....the redness and swelling is a antihystamine responce by your system, the goal of your body? to keep the junk from spreading....its allready absorbed, you cant suck it out.

1. No, because mosquitoes do not secrete venom. Try an over-the-counter insect bite cream instead.
2. You'd be very sore and would suffer tissue trauma, but you would not be poisoned by anything the mosquitoes themselves secrete. They secrete an anticoagulant in their saliva to prevent human blood clotting once they've ingested it but the amount transferred to a human when they bite is negligible. The real danger would be the risk of infection with harmful organisms which come from the blood of other humans a mosquito has bitten.

no, theres so little venom inside the bite that a syringe would have no affect. if u wanna get rid of the itching, put on some calamine lotion. as for 200 misquitoes biting you, well, that wouldnt really affect u that much. it would itch like crazy, but it wouldnt make you sick. it would take bites numbering in the thousands, at least, in order to make you sick. believe me, u walk through a swamp or a bog, and ull have 200+ mosquitoes on your arms in under a minute.

My little boy got mosquito bites the other night and we had wedding pictures the next day so I rubbed Visine on them and it took the red out and the swelling down.
As far as would you get sick if would depend on you body, some people don't even react to mosquito bites while others get huge welts.

Mosquitos don't have venom and they don't bite. They use their spit, which is some kind of chemical, to enlargen the blood vessle to suck out the blood. they don't "bite" is because they don't have teeth or a mouth. it's more like a straw. don't stick the needle in your body. you can screw up your self. and break an important vein. and stick you self 200 time? lol seek medical help if you have that many. rub a lot of ointment of your self. check for malaria. it is verry fatal. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

Mosquito Bites can cause you to get West Nile Virus.

Yeah. You take like a tablespoon of baking soda and mix it with a few drops of water, make it like a paste...then rub it on to the bites. It cools them down and stops the itching for a little while.
