Would there be enough in a mosquito that started a blood meal off of an infected person and was interrupted and started on you and you swat them on an open wound, if this all happened in about 3 seconds (because i know that the bacteria starts dying as soon as it leaves a human body)?

the chances of catching a disease from a mosquito seem rather low as u already have mentioned the bacteria starts to die off as it leaves the human body. but the chance is still there. sometimes all it takes is a little and other times a little is not enough but in either case we should always be careful.
