Yes: Most reactions to mosquito bites are small local reactions with minimal risk. However, there is a small percentage of people who may experience a more severe or generalized reaction to mosquito bites. Skeeter syndrome is an allergic reaction to the proteins in mosquito saliva that can lead to more significant symptoms.
