The way your body reacts to a mosquito bite says a lot of about your health

4. Hives

One of the most severe reactions to a mosquito bite is getting hives. If you have hives after getting bitten by a mosquito, you’ve got large welts on your body. But this can also be accompanied by a headache, fever, fatigue or swollen lymph nodes. Even though hives are something a lot of people will have experienced at some point, it’s a good idea to contact a doctor if this happens to you.
