For people with allergies, being able to tell what kind of bite it is can mean the difference between life and death. This list of the top 10 most common bug bites will help you stay safe.
1. To bite a mosquito
Depending on how long the bite lasted, mosquito bites can look like small rings or bigger, longer marks. It hurts and itches, and scratching makes the pain worse.
2. Flea Bites
Flea bites are very small, red, hard, and very itchy, and they often happen in groups.
3. Lice bite
Head lice bites look like flea bites, but they only happen on the head, neck, and behind the ears.
5. A tick bite
A tick bite has a red ring around a dark red or black dot. Submerging in rubbing alcohol or Vaseline and then pulling out with tweezers is the right way to get rid of it.
6. Sting from a wasp
Wasp stings look like mosquito bites and leave a mark in the middle that can be seen. They hurt, turn red, and swell up.
7. The Hornet Sting
Like wasp stings, hornet stings hurt and make your skin swell up.
8. Sting from a bee
The stinger that honey bees leave behind makes them easy to spot. Use tweezers to remove it, and then clean the spot.
9. A bite from a red ant
When a red ant bites you, it hurts right away and looks different from a flea bite.
10. Getting bitten by a spider
There are different kinds of spider bites, but most of the time they are hard, red, painful, and uncomfortable, and they may have two tiny holes in them.
