The mosquito or Culicidae is part of the insect group having sucking (buccal) parts, of which some components are long and form a proboscis. For feeding, penetration occurs first into the feeding tissues, followed by an injection of saliva and finally the aspiration or sucking of the blood. The annoying itch of a mosquito bite is not strictly a venom but a substance in the saliva used to maintain the fluidity of the blood, a sort of lubricator. It's always the female which bites in order to promote the development of her eggs. The male is essentially floricultural or, practically, does not eat. Mosquitoes are attracted by dark colours, humid heat, sweat and warm skin. Aspivenin®, even when used some hours after the bite (one is rarely aware of being bitten), greatly relieves the itching. Try to avoid scratching the bite as this can tend to spread the venom into the surrounding tissue. If going to areas where malaria is known to be prevalent, always seek your doctor's advice well in advance and take the usual course of anti-malarial medication.

The mosquito is an arthropod of the dipterous order (mosquitoes and flies). Mosquitoes are among the most feared insects in the world because of their role as the carrier of many diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. It is a fact that one in ten people in the world will die as the result of a mosquito bite.

"Whilst on holiday in Turkey, my wife, who is allergic to mosquito and wasp bites, had two terrible wasp bites, but thankfully the Turkish hotel owner took the poison out with an Aspivenin – it was so simple and effective."
Mr. J. L. H., Merseyside, UK
"I first saw Aspivenin used to treat an insect bite on a fellow traveller whilst on holiday in Turkey and, having purchased one, my wife used it on our return home. In both cases the bites came to nothing, as there was minimal inflammation and no irritation. I could not help but be impressed by the apparent efficacy of the device, and will take it with me when we travel to Africa later this year."
Dr. M. T., Cambridge, UK
"As my business is building bridges for logging companies, many of my overseas trips involve periods in deep tropical rain forests and it has certainly been a comfort having my trusty Aspivenin with me. Whilst I am pleased to say that the opportunity to trial the product on a snake bite has not arisen, it has certainly been effective on insect stings, even several hours after the event, and gives considerable relief. It may interest you to know that I demonstrated the product to some of the foresters in Guyana; given that they are constantly in danger from many venomous beasts, they showed very great interest."
Mr. D. R., Stockport, UK
"I am writing to say how impressed I am with your Aspivenin device. Whoever invented it deserves a medal! I have for many years been extremely allergic to mosquito and cat flea bites. Foreign holidays have been a nightmare and trips to cat-owning friends’ houses likewise. Each bite develops into a persistent red swelling which itches and hurts quite uncontrollably for at least a week. I have tried everything and often end up with the affected part swathed in ice packs, which afford about an hour’s relief at the most – and them I am awake again. Last week I was suffering from two nasty cat flea bites from a neighbour’s house. I applied the vacuum pump to both bites that afternoon and again that evening. The itching subsided almost immediately. I went to bed…..and suddenly it was morning – a miracle!"
