Summer is approaching and with it, its share of mosquitoes! These pests never fail to annoy you with their unpleasant and irritating bites. Thanks to simple and effective natural solutions such as plants, homemade recipes or certain food supplements for well-being , you will be able to fully enjoy the summer without worrying about unpleasant bites.

What are the common symptoms of a mosquito bite?
When you are bitten by a mosquito, its needle injects saliva into your skin. This saliva contains anticoagulants that prevent the blood from clotting, allowing the mosquito to feed. It's your body's reaction to this saliva that causes the typical symptoms of a mosquito bite .
The most common symptom of a mosquito bite is a small, red, swollen, itchy bump . The size of the bump and the intensity of the itching may vary from person to person.
Typically, symptoms begin to fade within 24 to 48 hours after the sting and disappear completely within a few days. However, sometimes the itching and swelling may persist for a week or more.
If symptoms are unusual or do not improve after a few days, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.
Mosquito bites in children
Children are particularly vulnerable to mosquito bites. Their thin, fragile skin is more easily pierced by mosquito needles, and their immune systems are not yet fully developed, making them more susceptible to allergic reactions.
The symptoms of mosquito bites in children are the same as in adults, but they can be more serious, causing widespread rash or fever, in addition to itching.
