Quzah, mosquitos don't inject "poison" into you. They release an anticoagulant to stop your blood from clotting, then they feed by sucking your blood. However, they can transmit disease during this process (ex. West Niles virus). I'm not suggesting you start killing mosquitos, but be aware that they do pose a risk to your health.
Thank you Queen Anal. I acknowledge your nit-picks.

The fact of the matter is, a mosquito bite itches. A spider bite itches. Thus, they are similar. It's much simpler to say you're poisoned by a mosquito than it is to say "I had an anticoagulant injected into me through the mosquito's proboscis, and as a result, I have a swolen bump on my arm that itches like a spider bite would."

Now run along and play.
