Insect Bites
Insect and bug bites are not uncommon. Depending on the types of biting insects, symptoms can vary, ranging from pain, swelling, and redness to intense itchiness and blisters. In some cases, an infection may occur when the insects carry bacteria. This would lead to more severe complications, such as a parasitic infection, a viral infection, hives, or a serious allergy. Most insect bites only cause mild symptoms that disappear on their own. Some home remedies can help, such as oral antihistamines, OTC anti-itch creams, ice packs, or OTC pain relievers. You should take preventive measures to avoid a bug or insect bites. [2]
