if i dont scratch a mosquito bite, will my inmune system get stronger?

Question:

all my life ive scratched my mosquito bites, and recently i started wondering, if i didnt scratch them at all, will my body notice this and create more antibodies against them? since there's no more scratching which is a type of defense, will my body try to balance this by making more antibodies and thus making me not feel itchy anymore when i get mosquito bites

Answers:
Nope...has nothing to do with it at all...the itching is an allergic reaction to the substance a mosquito "uses" to prevent your blood from clogging. You may build up a resistance over time if you get bitten enough, but antibodies are not involved at any level.

Other Answers:
no

You scratch because it's healing, if you didn't scratch, it would heal quicker. It's not a type of defense!

I dont no about "not feling itchy anymore" but you will probably feel less itchy. Go ahead and try it! its probably a great experiment.
