Message-ID: <5399@mtgzy.att.com> Date: 1 Aug 89 18:48:00 GMT Organization: AT&T, Middletown NJ Lines: 16 Why does a mosquito bite swell up and itch? What goes on under the skin? How does the mosquito benefit from it? Can the mosquito's poison be used to human advantage? Any pointers to literature? Thank you!
