Korkor asked me this morning, why do we feel itchy at that spot where the mozzie bites? I shrugged my shoulders and I then proceeded to tell him how when we get a wound, the bleeding comes, and the blood would hardened up, forming a shield to keep us from bleeding away and blocking bacteria and dirt from entering while making sure the new layer of skin is safely formed inside, then when it's almost ready for the new skin to emerge, we would feel a tad bit itchy around that area and it's unsafe to scratch it as the "shield" might break free and it starts bleeding all over again and the process repeats?
And we wondered... is the story relevant to his question? *gazing into the air*
Do you know why it's itchy when the mozzie comes and strikes?
