You do not respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer.

About This Quote

When a mosquito bites you, you don’t immediately swat out at it with a hammer. You use your hand to quickly swipe the mosquito away from your skin. The reason for this is not to hurt the mosquito but to send off a signal to other mosquitoes that you’re not open for business. This helps keep the population of mosquitoes down so they don’t pick on you for being a sitting duck.
