The video is a demonstration of mosquito bites performed by Coyote Peterson, a renowned naturalist. He is bitten by around 1,000 mosquitoes to educate viewers about mosquito behavior, the process of mosquito bites, and the discomfort experienced. The mosquitoes are of the yellow fever species, Aedes aegypti, and are grown in a lab.
The experiment begins when Peterson puts his arm into a box containing the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes bite him on his hand, wrist, and forearm. Peterson describes the sensation as itching and a feeling of something happening in the bitten areas. The mosquitoes use their proboscis, a suction cup, to bite and draw blood. Peterson is able to feel the mosquitoes' bites and describes the sensation of the mosquitoes' proboscis as sawing through tissue.
The experiment is filmed from multiple angles, showing the mosquitoes landing on Peterson's skin and the resulting welts. Peterson describes the discomfort and itching he experiences, and states that the itching is his body's natural reaction to mosquito saliva.
After the experiment, Peterson uses a product called Chiggerex to soothe the itching. Chiggerex is a topical cream that has been around for over 50 years and is designed to soothe various types of bites, including mosquito bites. Peterson applies the cream to his arm and describes how it reduces the itching almost instantly.
In conclusion, the video educates viewers about mosquitoes, the discomfort of mosquito bites, and a product that can alleviate the itching.
