How To Identify the Most Common Bug Bites

Bug bites are irritating and can be serious, especially for those with allergies. Knowing how to identify different bites could help in emergencies.

1. Mosquito
   Mosquito bites appear as small, itchy circles or larger blobs, depending on how long the mosquito fed. “Scratching only worsens the itch.”
2. Flea
   Flea bites are tiny, red, and often occur in clusters. They are “extremely itchy” and can be found in the same area.
3. Bedbug
   Bedbug bites are red, itchy, and usually form a zig-zag pattern. “Call an exterminator immediately” if you suspect an infestation.
4. Tick
   Tick bites feature a red ring around a dark spot. “Properly remove ticks with tweezers and test them for Lyme disease.”
5. Bee
   Bee stings are easy to spot because they leave the stinger in the skin. “Remove the stinger with tweezers and clean the area.”
