When you scratch a mosquito bite does it release poison into the bloodstream?

No, it does not. The mosquito doesn't inject a toxin. Instead, they simply try to injest your blood as a nutrient. The problems come in when the transfer goes both ways. The bump is your body reacting, not to a toxin, but to something it feels shouldn't be there (antigens). Scratching a mosquito bite doesn't release toxins into your bloodstream, but it does aggravate an already irritated area and, if you open a wound there, you can easily get an infection started. So don't scratch :}

Why is poison not harmful to a snake?
Most snake venoms need to get directly into the bloodstream to work. Snakes keep their venom in an isolated sac. If they get any into their mouths, it is swallowed and digested to harmless substances, so the toxin doesn't get into the bloodstream. It is also thought that, to some extent, snakes have natural antivenom in their systems.
