Insect Bites

Causes

1. Insect bites and stings are common and usually cause only minor irritation.  

2. When an insect bites, it releases saliva that can cause skin around the bite to become red, swollen and itchy. 

3. Many Insects like bees and wasps leave a sting under the skin which must be removed at the earliest to prevent infection.

Symptoms

1. Most reactions to insect bites and stings are mild, causing little more than redness, itching, stinging or swelling. 

2. A small hole, or the sting itself, may also be visible. The lump may have an inflamed (red and swollen) area around it that may be filled with fluid.
