Does a bite from a mosquito that carries chinkunguya look different than a normal bite? how to tell the difference?

Identical: The bite from an infected mosquito looks the same as from a non-infected one. That is why insect repellant, long sleeves and netting are important. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
