How To Treat Skeeter Syndrome

Skeeter syndrome is an allergic reaction to the proteins found in mosquito saliva and is characterized by painful, red, and itchy swelling. Swelling and itchiness may be localized the site of the bite, but red bumps, blisters, itching, and bruises may also appear on other parts of the body not directly affected by the bite. In it's most severe (and rare) form, skeeter syndrome can lead to inflammation of the mouth, tongue, lips, and throat, restricting airways and causing a life-threatening emergency. Most cases of skeeter syndrome, however, require no medical intervention and can be treated with over-the-counter remedies.
