How does it take mosquito bites to go away?
Where were you born?
Where are you now? If different from your birth place, how long have you been there?
My own:
Thirty minutes
Central Arkansas
Same place.
About a week (I can come back and let you know exactly if this thread is still going I was eaten alive on Saturday and they’re driving me nuts)
Central coast of California
Four Corners, Colorado about a 1.5 years but I’ve been allergic my whole life
20 minutes
Virginia
Afghanistan
I also am one of those people who just don’t get bit that much.
Maybe 3-5 days
Iowa
Massachusetts, 29 years
Probably about 4-5 days.
Ohio. Lived in New York for 25 years, then came back.
Are you guys serious that your mosquito bites go away in minutes?
Similarly, 3-5 days
Born Birmingham, England, UK
Live London, England, UK
Very very rarely get a bite if anything in the temperate climate of the UK, but get bitten everywhere else (mediterranean, Caribbean, Thailand etc)
I’m wondering about that too.
I’m rarely bitten, but when I am, it doesn’t itch or swell or sting or anything. It hurts a bit when they actually bite, but afterwards, no problem at all. I wasn’t aware that this was unusual.
Born in Southern Maryland
Live in Madison, WI. 7 years.
2-3 days
California
Germany/Florida (it changes a lot)
Yes, and I’m looking for a reason, assuming I’m not a mutant. 
Couple days

They LOVE to eat me. They just love it. (My mom’s the same way.) A few years ago on July 4th I was sitting out in a back yard in a swimsuit and I had mosquitoes biting my back THROUGH the chair webbing. For some reason they welted up like absolute crazy that time. Urgh.
About a week, though the worst of the itching is the first couple of days.
Metro Detroit for both.
Mosquitoes love me and I hate them. 
I wore bug spray on Saturday at my friends’ fire pit and still have 35 bites! They itch so bad that I woke up at 4am and couldn’t go back to sleep.
Around 20 minutes if I can manage to not itch them. Then usually just overnight. My wife scratches them until they bleed, and she suffers for a week.

What do you mean by “go away”? They leave red marks on me that last for at least two weeks. If you mean the itching: used to be 3-4days, but I’ve discovered that hydrogen peroxide stops the itching in one day.
Born in Washington, D. C. and I don’t recall having a problem there. Now in northeast Florida since 2004 and between the skeeters and the heat, I just stay indoors as much as I can.
I was bitten dozens of times by mosquitos when I was a kid, but they don’t bite me anymore. I don’t know why.
I was born in southeastern PA.
I live in Central Florida now.
How does it take mosquito bites to go away?
Days, maybe a week
Where were you born?
NJ. Although FWIW, I had extensive early exposure to Caribean mosquitos.
Where are you now? If different from your birth place, how long have you been there?
Still NJ.
Never been bitten by a mosquito as far as I can tell, or have no reaction. This is weird because I have lots of other skin allergies. Bugs still swarm around me like everyone else when I’m out, but I never have bites.
Born in NYC, live in upstate NY.
How long does it take mosquito bites to go away?
Absolutely ages, I still have red marks on my ankles from bites more than a month ago, bites on arms last about two weeks. More areas than that are not exposed during mozzie season.

Ireland
Where are you now? If different from your birth place, how long have you been there?
Alberta, Canada, most of my life.

Australia
Where are you now?

With great timing (since I have 35 bites right now), my mom sent me this interesting article. I have O- blood, so perhaps that explains why I’m such a damn tasty treat to them.
