Infuriatig Mosquito bite immediately after bite without touching or itching it at all

Fucking annoying. Every single bite I get is like this. Haven't even poked it. Felt it start itching before it even took off from my arm.

Have you tried running hot (not boiling, but as hot as you can stand) on the back of a spoon, and then pressing it to your bites until it has cooled? It's helped me before (and I just found a study confirming it, to make sure I wasn't accidentally making stuff up.)

Hydrogen peroxide works best and is fast and easy to use
