AB  - Skeeter  syndrome  is  not  an  envenomation.  It  is  an  allergic  reaction  to  polypeptides  in  mosquito  saliva.  Widespread  inflammation  may  mimic  cellulitis.  Initially  characterized  by  erythema,  pruritis,  and  warmth,  the  rash  becomes  swollen  within  hours.  Papules,  vesicles,  and  bullae  may  develop  in  8  to  12  hours.  Because  salivary  peptides  vary  among  species,  individuals  may  be  allergic  to  some  species  of  mosquitos  but  not  others.
