bite Identification GUIDE
-
TICKS
ButtonTick bites are typically painless and can go unnoticed until the tick is found attached to the skin. These bites can leave small red spots, but they may swell or cause itching in some people. While most tick bites are harmless, certain ticks carry bacteria or viruses that can transmit illnesses like Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It's important to remove ticks carefully and monitor the bite area for signs of infection, such as redness or rash, especially if flu-like symptoms develop.
-
SPIDERS
ButtonSpider bites occur when a spider feels threatened and bites in self-defense. Most spider bites are harmless, often resembling a typical bug bite with mild redness, itching, or swelling. However, bites from certain spiders like the black widow or brown recluse can cause more serious symptoms, such as intense pain, muscle cramps, or even necrotic skin reactions.
-
FIRE ANTS
ButtonFire ant bites cause a sharp, stinging pain followed by a burning sensation. They typically leave behind small, red welts that develop into pus-filled blisters within a few hours. The bites can itch intensely and may last several days. In some cases, they cause an allergic reaction, leading to symptoms like swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing, which may require immediate medical attention.
MIDGES
Midge bites are typically small, red, and itchy bumps that appear soon after being bitten by tiny flying insects known as midges. These bites are often clustered in groups and can be intensely itchy or even painful. Midges are especially active at dawn and dusk, and their bites can cause skin irritation, especially in people who are sensitive. Though midge bites usually heal within a few days, scratching can lead to infection.
