Why do insect-bites itch more after food?

It's not just me. Almost everyone I've asked agrees, on reflection, that it's true of them too.

Allergic reactions generally seem more easily triggered on a full stomach.

Is it because the body has to apply so many resources to digestion that it can't handle allergies properly?

Or does anyone disagree, and find that their allergic reactions get worse the longer they fast for?
 
I find that sometimes eating alone causes my face to get itchy. It's not a food allergy, it's just a reaction to my stomach being full.

I don't know why this happens. But for you, if you've got a lot of insect bites, I suggest eating lightly.
