i've never heard of it happening, and like the first answer, it's scientifically impossible. however, you can get other diseases from mosquitos and ticks, like lyme disease or malaria. i believe that malaria is less common than lyme disease, and can only be transmitted through one type of mosquito. so just watch out for ticks the next time you're in a forest or something. mosquitos are horrible here, and nobody i know has ever gotten sick from a mosquito bite, and the lord knows we get bitten all the time.

No, they don't. By the time it needs blood for a second time all the blood from the first host is digested and harmless. Diseases can't be transfered human-parasite-human, only animal-parasite-human(which is where malaria, Lyme disease, etc. come from)
