No, mosquito bites do not contain formic acid. Instead, when a mosquito bites, it injects saliva that contains various proteins and enzymes to prevent blood clotting and facilitate feeding. This saliva can cause localized reactions, such as itching and swelling, but it does not include formic acid, which is primarily associated with certain insects like ants and some stinging insects.
