Can a mosquito bite1 hurt? How much do you think would a mosquito bite cost you? For a worker in China, it meant a swollen face that made it difficult to open his eyes and cost him his job.
A factory worker had to be rushed to a hospital after his face swelled up due to a mosquito bite. Mr. Zhang, the victim, had great difficulties opening his eyes right after being bitten by the mosquito and his co-workers had a hard time figuring out what was wrong with him. Mr. Zhang was rushed to the hospital as soon as puss oozed out of his face.

He was turned away by countless doctors because they could not figure out what to do with him when he reached the nearest hospital. To add to his misery, he was fired from his job because he did not turn up at work because he had to go and seek treatment. The incident occurred at a printing factory in the Eastern Jiangsu province in China. The incident happened while Mr. Zhang was running his night shift.
Doctors state that such symptoms rarely occur. It can happen when a mosquito bites on a lymph node2. Thankfully, all that was required to cure him was a few bagfuls of ice. He is now recovering from the swollen face3 and expects to soon get back to everyday life.
