[edit on Wikidata] Tracheal intubation, usually simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs.
First, breaking the skin anymore (with your dirty fingers, nonetheless) exposes the bite to a greater risk of infection, says Schultz. Plus, scratching actually creates more inflammation, leading to more itching and worse pain. Essentially, scratching mosquito bites is fueling the fire he says. Instead, many people turn to the afore-mentioned anti-histamines to reduce itching and other symptoms of their bug bites.
First, a mosquito bite can cause irritation of the skin because of an interaction between our bodies and the mosquito body fluids. This causes a red (sometimes swollen) bump that can be very itchy. These bites have very variable healing times. For some people, a minor bite can heal in one day. For others, the bump can last for more than a week. Your bite that has been there for two weeks is right at the time point where I would begin to worry that there may be an infection in the area.
